The Berwick Show Society has a long and proud association with agricultural competition in Victoria, tracing its history back through the Mornington Farmers Society to the founding body in Victoria, the Port Phillip Farmers Society which was established in 1848.

 

The Berwick Show of today is of course very different to that conducted 160 years ago. Notwithstanding we are very proud of the fact that our agricultural and horticultural exhibits remain a significant component of our Show. Our cattle exhibit is one of the largest outside the Royal Melbourne, and we have significant Horse, Sheep, Alpaca, Goat, and Poultry Exhibits.

Our Saturday night carnival continues to be a highly successful and popular component of our Show. A major success factor being the very good working relationship we have with the Victorian Showmen’s Guild. Through their co-operation we are able conduct a well organised and safe event.

One thing that remains constant is the contribution made by the volunteers who make up the Show Society. Without their dedication and hard work there would be no Show.
