ABOUT
About The ShowShow History
The association was known as the Liverpool Plains Pastoral, Agricultural & Horticultural Association until 1940, when it changed its name to the Tamworth Agricultural Association.
The show has, to date, been held in five different locations.
In 1873, the first show was held on Peel St. In 1876, the show was moved to the Fitzroy site where it remained for 29 years. In 1907, the show was then held on the Oval site for three years. Showground Road became the site for the next 106 years until it was sold to NSW Harness Racing in 2018. The show then moved to AELEC – Australian Equine and Livestock Events Centre on Goonoo Goonoo Road, south of Tamworth. AELEC is owned by the Tamworth Regional Council and the Tamworth Agricultural Association has a hire agreement with the council to use it once a year.
