The much-loved event once again delivered a packed program, thanks to the tireless efforts of the Esk Show Society.

Featuring everything from agricultural competitions to exhilarating entertainment, the show reaffirmed its place as a cornerstone of the Somerset calendar.

Friday launched the festivities with Prime Beef and horse events, as well as the Linda Trotter Memorial Dog Show — all drawing large crowds and strong entries.

Saturday proved to be the main drawcard, with showgoers flooding in to enjoy a vibrant mix of attractions. Families were treated to free rides, woodchopping, lawnmower racing, the ute show, and a full schedule of stud beef competitions.

Backed by a community of dedicated volunteers, the Esk Show continues to unite generations through rural heritage, entertainment, and shared memories.
