Welcome to the Ballarat Agricultural and Pastoral Society Website.

The Ballarat Agricultural Show Society held its first activity on 10th July 1856. It was a ploughing match with twenty ploughmen taking part. Over 150 years later the Society is still celebrating its contribution to the community and agricultural activities.

We conduct a number of events which showcase the wide ranging agricultural nature of our community today. The Ballarat Showgrounds are also used to conduct a variety of activities by other groups. Facilities are available to hire.

2012 is officially "The Year of the Farmer". All events conducted by the Ballarat Agicultural and Pastoral Society will focus on this theme. Further details to follow.
