GALLERY: Miles of smiles at The Newcastle Show

Rain, hail or shine… The Show must go on.

That mantra drew hundreds of Novocastrians to the Newcastle Regional Show on Friday.

Despite the threat of thunderstorms and the soggy ground from a wet few days, they were determined to enjoy the annual event.

Continuing until Sunday 6 March, The Show is celebrating 120 years of history across the showground.

From classic entertainment in the centre ring to more than 100 high-adrenaline rides and countless exhibitions, something is on offer for everyone.

That’s not to forget plenty of food outlets from around the world either, including Mexican, Italian and Portuguese delights.

General manager Emma Spencer says they decided to stick to tradition to ensure everyone has a great time out after a difficult couple of years.

“We have the usual events in the ring, with a lot of focus on the horses and their respective disciplines, while the stunt team, BMX show and demo derby are always crowd favourites,” she said.

“We’re hosting numerous amazing competitions, too, and we’ve received a heap of amateur entries for cooking and handicrafts.

“I’m keen to see happy families come through the gates, couples on a date night, or a bunch of teenagers seeking some thrills on the rides.”
