Campbell Town Agricultural Show

Date: 29/05/2026

Founded in 1838 by a group of far sighted and progressive landowners, the Campbell Town Show has played a leading role in the display of Tasmania’s high quality livestock and wool. From its inception, livestock and wool producers have used exhibits as a yard stick for achievement of a very high standard.

The present day Campbell Town Show is a two day event which provides displays and competitions in a wide and varied programme. Commercial competitions and a focus on sustainable agriculture and lifestyle are a strong feature.

Woodford Folk Festival

The Woodford Folk Festival is held annually over six days and six nights, from Dec 27th through to January 1st. More than 2,000 local, national and international, artists, musicians and presenters put on over 438 acts to an audience of an estimated 132,000 people. The festival begins each year with the iconic Opening Ceremony and closes with the spectacular showcase, the Fire Event on New Year’s Day. This year will be the 35th Woodford Folk Festival and the 28th held at Woodfordia. It is the largest gathering of artists and musicians in Australia.

The Woodford festival experience is deep, rich and colourful. It is based on a vision of inclusive and creative community, culture and tradition passed through generations, expressed through story and ceremony. The site, a former barren dairy farm, has been lovingly regenerated with over 120,000 subtropical rain forest trees, orchids, ferns and sedges, planted to create a habitat for butterflies and wildlife.

Woodfordia is transformed into a village that hosts over 25,000 daily patrons, performers, stallholders, volunteers and organisers. As many as 2,680 volunteers across 162 departments are at the heart of the organisation and contribute to the setup and day-to-day running of the festival. During the event, the festival is actually the 67th largest town in Australia.

Each year construction begins in early December and continues up until Christmas Day. Over 450 contractors and volunteers build the village. Many come from around the world to be part of the festival build and then stay for a week after to pull the event down.

WE HAVE BEEN LONGING TO ANNOUNCE THIS NEWS SINCE WHAT SEEMS LIKE FOREVER – WOODFORD FOLK FESTIVAL IS BACK!

Change has been more of a constant these past couple of years and that will continue into the future. The return of the festival this year will see some venues retired, some taking a year off, others returning in full glory along with some new kids on the block.

The programme will continue to have the diversity, excellence and depth that Woodford patrons have revelled in over the years.

Tickets will be capped this year to make sure we get the comfort level just right.

We will be launching tickets in June – make sure you are signed up to our mailing list stay up to date.
