While this year the show may look a little different from previous years, gates are due to be open on Friday April 9 and Saturday April 10 at the Stroud Showground.

According to the Stroud Show committee, in order to stay COVID-safe, there will be pre-purchased tickets, social distancing rules in play and a cap on visitor numbers.

That being said, preparations are well underway and organisers are expecting to run a full program, with an extended camp draft schedule to debut on the new arena.

"As a signature show for the region, we are excited to be bringing the Stroud Show back in 2021," committee president and zone 3 Agricultural Societies Council (ASC) delegate, James Harris said.

"We are 100 years old and still going strong even in pandemic conditions.

"A comprehensive COVID-19 safety plan has been developed by the committee, which strictly aligns with the State Government guidelines.

"The guidelines will be closely monitored and the safety plan will be adapted as needed," James explained.

The two-day event will offer visitors acres of activities and exhibitors to see and do in the great outdoors. There are plans for everything from the speedy fence post splitting competition, the ute muster, wife carrying competition and demolition derby to an animal nursery and variety of amusement rides providing something for the whole family.

While in the ring, equine enthusiasts will delight with the stallions, colts, mares and fillies on display and competing in their various disciplines of show jumping, hacking, equestrian and show ring.

Over in the pavilion, the farm produce is a sight to be seen with oversized pumpkin, zucchini and watermelon revealed.

The annual Stroud Show will also showcase incomparable livestock, products and produce from the Stroud Valley region and beyond, giving a true feel of what life in this real country town has to offer.
