History
The showground demonstrates a continuity of historical activity, the site being used continually as a showground since 1878.

This is one of the earliest sites that has been used continuously and has some of the earliest extant showground buildings including the Howard Pavilion which was designed by Edward Gell and erected in 1879.

Additionally, the showground is of high architectural merit with particular care being taken with the placement of buildings and the architectural styles in which they were built. This attention was extended to the landscape setting, thereby creating a landmark in the town of Bathurst and the region.

The Bathurst Showground contains the most comprehensive array and aesthetically cohesive suite of showground buildings in a NSW regional town and provide a great entry into the nearby Bathurst CBD.

Bathurst Showground is located on Great Western Highway, Bathurst NSW 2795

Close to the CBD on the eastern approaches to the city. Only a short walk to the main shopping centre.

Opposite Morse Park and Bathurst Regional Council Visitors Information Centre.
