Details
Bendigo Agricultural Show Society lists the Prince of Wales Showgrounds on Holmes Road, less than three kilometres from the CBD. The venue page describes a large showgrounds arena, the Fosterville Gold Exhibition Centre, Regional Events Complex, function centre, market pavilions, livestock pavilions, horse stables, outdoor powered trade areas, adjacent parking and public transport access. It also notes the showgrounds hosts 49 community Sunday markets each year and major events such as the Australian Sheep and Wool Show, Bendigo National Swap Meet and Bendigo Agricultural Show, making it a durable public venue rather than a one-off event listing.
