Calling all ride fanatics and chip on a stick fiends: the Central Coast Regional Show is back again in 2024 and of course, we’re all invited.
Mark your calendars because the Central Coast Regional Show is taking over the Gosford Showground for two massive days next month – Saturday, April 13 and Sunday, April 14, 2024.
The Central Coast Regional Show will allow attendees to engage with some of the region’s best makers, creators and producers as they showcase their goods to the community.
Of course, there will be the classic show favourites – think everything from fruit and vegetable judging, cake decorating, knitting, and craft – plus so much more.
Plus, entertainment for the whole family including trail bike stunt riding, Highland Muscle Games, farmyard animals, daredevil stunt shows, go-kart racing, daily fireworks displays, roaming entertainers, and working kelpie demonstrations – the list is endless.
Our highlights for the 2024 Central Coast Regional Show? Well, it has to be the Mullet and Mutt Competitions.
The Mullet Competition will take place on Saturday, April 13 with the organisers of the Central Coast Regional Show searching out the Coastie with the best mullet.
Hosted by legendary Coastie and comedian Mitch Garling, people of all ages and genders will be able to put their money where their mouth is for the chance at bragging rights for the best mullet on the Central Coast.
And move over pedigree competitions, ‘cause the Mutt Competition at the 2024 Central Coast Regional Show is where it’s at.
This epic event will celebrate the humble mutts of the Central Coast, whose breed isn’t the clearest or whose coats might not be the shiniest.
Once again hosted on the Main Stage by Mitch Garling, the title ‘Best Mutt on the Central Coast’ will be awarded on Sunday, April 14, 2024, with a cash prize up for grabs alongside bragging rights for both humans and doggos.
You best believe the fun doesn’t stop there because the Central Coast Regional show will of course be home rides and attractions that will not be seen anywhere else on the Central Coast, straight out of the Sydney Royal Easter Show plus showbags galore.
Now for the nitty gritty deets.
‘The Show’ is happening at the Gosford Showgrounds on, you guessed it – Showground Road – from 9am daily.
You can already purchase tickets today here, with a single-day entry for adults setting you back just $15.
Single-day entry for children aged 5-15 years and concession card holders will set you back $10, with kids under five going free while families can get a single-day family pass for $25.
Free car parking is available with entry via the Glennie Street gate, with disabled parking also available.
Make sure you make a stop at the ATM on the way to the show, with organisers strongly encouraging you to bring cash for the vendors who might not have EFTPOS.
‘The Show’ organisers are yet to confirm if an ATM will be onsite this year, so prepare for cash to be king.
