Hawkesbury
Horticultural Show
The
Hawkesbury Show attracts around 2,500 visitors each
year. The main attraction is the large produce marquee,
full of the biggest and best fruit, vegetables and
flowers as well as crafts, home baking, wine, photographs
and pictures. Another key part of the show is the
wonderful carnival procession that runs through the
village and into the arena on the recreation ground.
The beer tent is well stocked and there are plenty
of stalls to browse. If it's thrills you are after
then the funfair is where you'll be headed with dodgems,
waltzers and plenty more. There
will be entertainment in the central arena, as well
as fairground rides, a deer roast, beer tent, raffle,
live music from a local silver band, archery displays
and local crafts and produce stalls, so there is something
for everyone.
The
popular carnival procession begins with the crowning
of the carnival queen before travelling through the
village to the Show Ground. Gates
open at 12.30pm, and the evening entertainment starts
at 6.30pm, with three live bands culminating with
a 75 minute show from The Mangledwurzels.
