Melbourne Showgrounds

Home to the Royal Melbourne Show since 1848, Melbourne Showgrounds is a venue hosting shows, expos and festivals throughout the year.

Many people who grew up in Melbourne will recall the excitement of going to the Royal Melbourne Show as a child – from the sights and smells of farmyard animals to the thrilling carnival rides, and showbags packed with sweet treats.

Featuring a mix of indoor and outdoor venues, the Showgrounds offer a versatile combination of spaces for hire, suitable for a range of trade shows, expos and events.
