The 2026 Litchfield Rural Show proved that moving to the Livingstone Recreation Reserve was the right decision for the future of our event.
The new venue was warmly embraced by patrons, competitors and site holders alike, with overwhelmingly positive feedback received throughout the weekend. The move has delivered a more accessible, welcoming and enjoyable experience for everyone involved.
Visitors particularly appreciated the easier access, closer parking, improved accessibility and relaxed rural atmosphere. The natural surroundings, including plenty of trees, grass and shade, helped create the authentic country show experience that so many people love.
Our post-show survey was filled with positive comments, including:
- “Great! The parking was so close and easy, everything was compact and vibrant.”
- “Fantastic. Felt like a real rural show.”
- “Absolutely phenomenal, so much better than anticipated.”
- “Loved the new location. The show felt more connected, plenty of shade and heaps of things for the kids. Parking was easy.”

- “The competitions are fun for all involved. I love seeing what people have created and grown.”

The success of the new venue at Livingstone Recreation Reserve has provided a strong foundation for the future of the Litchfield Rural Show, and we’re excited to continue building on this success in the years ahead.
