The 5 day Spring Farm Fair will be a farm wonderland for families and young children, to interact with farm animals, learn more about agriculture and farming in WA, and enjoy some great food.

Every day for 5 days there will be 2 sessions where families can wander the South-West corner of the Claremont Showground.

All tickets will be available online and buyers will need to provide full contact details when purchasing tickets.

Highlights will include the Animal Nursery, presented in a new space that will provide a unique up-close animal experience. Animals will include chickens, goats, ducks, rabbits and many of the farm favourites.

Another hands-on agricultural experience will be Little Hands on the Land, being 2,000 square metres of lawn area for children aged between 4 and 8 years old to discover where their food comes from and how it is grown. The experience will also include a dairy cow and milking facility, interactive talks with growers and producers.

Cooking with Kids will be another food learning experience for young children and will give young children the opportunity to prepare some of their favourite ingredients into a delicious treat for them to enjoy. At the same time learning about the importance of produce and how best to prepare it.

A Community Stage will provide young entertainers and entertainment groups with the opportunity to sing, dance and perform in front of family and friends. Some of the main stage entertainment will include a science magic show and meet and greet with Paw Patrol and Trolls.
