Ticket prices are as follows: Weekend Pass $35, General Admission $20 per day (Sat or Sun), Concession $15 per day (Sat or Sun), Children under 16 free (but ticket still required)
Ticket numbers are capped to ensure the comfort of attendees, so we recommend pre-purchasing (no booking fee) to avoid missing out.
A cheerful, friendly attitude!
If the weather is warm, bring a hat and sunscreen as some viewing areas are in full sun. Also bring a refillable water bottle and make use of our free filling stations.
If showers are forecast, bring a raincoat and brolly – it’s spring in Tasmania and the show must go on!
Optional items include: folding camp chair, bicycle (to get from one verandah to another quicker), music instrument (for workshops).
