92nd Red Hill Show

Celebrating its 92nd year, the Red Hill Show is still one of the most popular family events on the Mornington Peninsula calendar. Thousands of people will be part of this wonderful community celebration of agriculture, heritage, cooking, crafts and entertainment. The showgrounds will be transformed into one colourful, appetizing, entertaining spectacle for the whole family. The Mornington Peninsula will be on show!

A highlight of the 92nd show is the celebration of our Mornington Peninsula Paddock which will showcase so many of our local producers from Main Ridge Dairy, Tuerong Farm producing wheat to Red Hill Brewery. "Red Hill is synonymous with Apples and to celebrate this agricultural past the Red Hill Cider Show is growing each year and we will be offering more cider tastings and demonstrations," commented Bec Davis Executive Officer. All cider makers are invited to enter and benchmark their products against that of their peers. Classes will reflect both New World and Traditional styles of cider, perry and fruit blends.

For nine decades the show continues to commemorate our agricultural lineage that goes back to the early pioneers and settlers on the hill. As always, the animals, entertainment, exhibitions and demonstrations will be top class. "This year the Show Committee welcomes the speed and agility of the Fly Dogs," said Bec Davis. "The top oval will be taken over once again but the majestic Clydesdales and romantic Gypsy Cobs." The horses will be on show from 10:45am. Come and meet these very special gentle giants!

"We have included more free rides and fantastic attractions for the whole family," Bec commented. "Kids can delight in a free pony ride, feed and pet our farm animal friends or enjoy a close encounter with native wildlife. From Miniature goats, alpacas, sheep and every animal in between. See the mustering talents of the Futura Working Dogs, traditional sheep shearing or visit our local Willum Warrain indigenous group where kids can paint their own boomerangs. It truly is a community event celebrating our past culture and lost trades."
