The Royal Agricultural Society of WA (RASWA) is thrilled to launch the 2025 Perth Royal Show, Western Australia’s most loved and iconic community event, returning to Claremont Showground from 27 September to 4 October 2025.
Now in its 189th year, the Show continues a legacy dating back to 1834 of bringing together generations of Western Australians for a joyful celebration of agriculture, food, education, entertainment and community spirit.
Following record-breaking crowds in 2024, including two sold-out days, the 2025 Show promises 12 hours of FREE entertainment every day and fresh ticketing options. From paddocks to pavilions, there’s something for everyone.
Whether you’re watching elite showjumping, seeing the sheep dog trials in action, discovering the best of Western Australia’s quality produce, cuddling baby animals, or enjoying the Show’s spectacular fireworks and drone display – there’s no shortage of unforgettable moments.
With over 4,000 animals, 8,000 competition entrants, and 150 community groups taking part, the Perth Royal Show is where the best of Western Australia shines, spotlighting the State’s rich agricultural heritage while celebrating innovation and a bright future.
Exciting new additions to experience as part of this year’s Show timetable include:
- For the first time in Perth, the Flying Fools from Montreal will wow audiences with their breathtaking high-diving stunts, performing shows both during the day and in the evening.

Favourites such as Motocross, Sideshow Alley and the Dairy Pavilion are back, plus the Woodchop Arena will host its biggest competition yet, with a record-breaking $80,000 prize pool and the debut of an axe-throwing contest.
Also unveiling a world-first fireworks that will transform the Claremont Showground sky into a breathtaking 360-degree immersive ‘sky theatre’ culminating in the biggest evening finale the Perth Royal Show has ever seen.
As the State’s largest community event, the Perth Royal Show continues to evolve to offer more value and accessibility to all Western Australians.
Thanks to $2.8 million in funding from the State Government, the 2025 Perth Royal Show delivers a great day out for Western Australians with half-price tickets for children aged 4-15 years old, students and concession holders, and a contribution to the fireworks and evening entertainment.
This investment also includes $600,000 thatwill go towards supporting agricultural shows throughout regional Western Australia via a new grant program.
“It’s fantastic to see our State’s local agricultural shows receiving this support. These events are the heartbeat and a source of great pride for their communities, bringing people together year after year,” said RASWA CEO Robyn Sermon.
Funding from Lotterywest through a $950,000 grant will enhance access to the Show supporting inclusive ticketing, early entry for priority groups, community engagement, sensory-friendly spaces, and volunteer programs.
RASWA CEO Robyn Sermon said this year’s Show builds on its long-standing community legacy.
“The Perth Royal Show is a true celebration of WA, of where we’ve come from and where we’re headed. It connects city and country, young and the young-at-heart, and showcases the best of our food, farming, talent and community spirit.
“Thanks to the support of the Cook Government and Lotterywest, this year we’ve been able to deliver value for families, while continuing to invest in rural communities, volunteers, and inclusive experiences.
“We’re always looking for new ways to delight our visitors. This year’s Show is one of our most exciting yet – with new rides, revamped favourites, and new experiences you won’t find anywhere else in WA. We can’t wait to welcome everyone back.”
