ROYAL LAUNCESTON SHOW 8-10 OCTOBER 2015 EVENT SPONSORSHIP

An Invitation Thank you for taking the time to learn more about the Royal Launceston Show. I am excited to share with you our vision for the 2015 Royal Launceston Show, and beyond. Most Launceston residents have fond memories of going to the show, as children and as adults, and everyone has their favourite experience, whether it be sideshow alley, showbags, seeing the baby animals, or watching the showjumping and woodchopping. But there is much more to the Show than just having a good time!

About the Event Our motto for many years has been “Bringing the Country to the City” and we do this in a variety of ways. The Show provides an opportunity for our farmers, breeders and sports people to showcase the quality of their product, and to give people from all walks of life the opportunity to find out more and participate.

Through competing in our sections, breeders can qualify for high profile competitions, and our exhibitors love sharing the fruits of their labour. From the champion bull, down to the fuzzy ducklings – there is always something new to learn and experience.

The Show has now been running for over 100 years, and is an important part of the Launceston culture. Launceston’s children have grown up nibbling our fairy floss, petting our baby lambs and riding the Ferris Wheel, and any Launceston gardener will tell you that the correct day to plant tomatoes is Show Day!
