Welcome to Gidgegannup Agricultural Society (Inc.)

To celebrate the 80^th Anniversary of the Annual Gidge Show this year we will present a bigger, better and longer Show to the community on Saturday 31 October. 

There will be more stalls, more entertainment and hopefully more competition entries from our community members (start thinking about your entries now).

We’re working with the Amusement Park operators to have bumper cars included this year, alongside some Halloween-themed attractions. We would love to hear from our community members about what might keep them at the Showgrounds after dusk (we will look after the additional lighting!).

Please check the post on our Facebook page and give us your ideas and suggestions there.

The Agricultural Hall renovation project is scheduled for completion by Show Day however the committee is working with the City of Swan to ensure alternative venue(s) are provided should the Hall remain unavailable.  

Show Day vendor insurance requirements

Every trade stall operator and vendor MUST have their own Public Liability Insurance coverage for at least $10M valid for Show Day. 

The Australian Government Business site has all the details you need to know about operating a market or trade stall.

Applications cannot be accepted without evidence of coverage which will be required to be uploaded during the application process.  Unfortunately this situation is beyond the Ag Society's control and waivers or exemptions are not possible.

Examples of available policies can be found by searching for "1 day market stall insurance Australia".  Coverage is available for third party injuries and property damage, and also for product liabilities.  If you are a prospective vendor or stall holder please make sure you have appropriate coverage in place for 31 October 2026 before starting the application process.  Most 1-day policies on the market are available for around $50.

Seeking community support to improve the wooden animal pens

Each year the number of animals entered into the Show has been increasing and has reached the capacity of the existing animal pavilion and steel pens. The older wooden pens are still usable however they currently have no gates.  We are seeking donations from the community if anyone has gates they no longer need.  There are 10 pens of around 3m width.   Please contact groundspace@gidgeagsociety.com.au if you may be able to help out.
