Noorat & District Agricultural and Pastoral Society Inc

Founded in 1932 to promote agricultural and industrial progress in the region, the Noorat & District Agricultural & Pastoral Society has proudly conducted an annual show every year since.
The Noorat Show is held on the third Saturday in November and is recognised as one of the largest one-day shows between Geelong and Mt Gambier. It's a vibrant celebration of regional life, boasting a wonderful mix of local and visiting businesses, high-quality livestock exhibits, skilled working dogs, and impressive horse events.
With something for everyone, the Show offers a full day of family-friendly entertainment, food, exhibits, and community spirit.
Held at the Noorat Recreation Reserve, nestled in the shadows of Mt Noorat, it’s the perfect venue for a relaxed and fun-filled day out.
Come and join us at one of the best country shows around!

Noorat and the district . . . .

The township of Noorat is nestled at the base of Mt Noorat, an extinct volcano in south-western Victoria. Conveniently located near Camperdown, Terang, and Mortlake, it's just a 40-minute drive from Warrnambool.
Surrounded by rolling green paddocks, Noorat lies at the heart of Victoria’s dairy country — a legacy of volcanic activity thousands of years ago. The rich, fertile soils left behind continue to sustain a thriving dairy industry that defines the region’s economy and landscape.
Noorat is also the birthplace of renowned Australian author Alan Marshall, best known for his memoir I Can Jump Puddles. The book tells the inspiring story of his early life growing up in Noorat while living with the effects of polio.
A charming rural town steeped in history and surrounded by natural beauty, Noorat is a fitting home for one of Victoria’s best country shows.
