The 2026 Perth Royal Show Media Guide is the ultimate reference to assist with covering this year’s Show.
It includes essential media information, general event and venue information, entertainment highlights, a comprehensive map and key contacts who will be on-site and ready to assist each day of Show.

The Perth Royal Show brings Western Australians together to celebrate the vital role of agriculture, innovation and community, and has done so since 1834. This year, you can experience 12 hours of non-stop entertainment, immerse yourself in interactive and educational exhibits, visit all the classic Show favourites, and discover a world of new and exciting activities on offer around the grounds.
Making the Show accessible to as many people as possible remains a key priority. Thanks to $3.95 million in funding support from the WA State Government and Lotterywest, general admission prices have been frozen, and entry remains free for kids 3 and under, helping more families enjoy everything the Show has to offer.
We sincerely thank the WA media for your ongoing support and look forward to working together to share the stories of the 2026 Perth Royal Show with audiences right across the State.
This year’s promise is simple: More Show for Your Dough.
