It’s that once a year day – yes you guessed it – it’s Show Day! Grab the kids and get ready for a rip-roaring roller coaster ride of fun. Woohoo!
Take a seat in the grandstand and feel the anticipation as you cheer for family and friends competing in the most exhilarating day of the year. Hear the whack of the axe as it chops the wood, the baa of the crazy sheep as the dog expertly rounds them up and watch in awe as the horses clear those tricky jumps.
Come celebrate in the heart-warming glow of Show Day and be enchanted by a carnival of puppets. Oh, and keep an eye on the cheeky chooks – we hear they are planning an eggscape!

Spare Parts Puppet Theatre respectfully acknowledges the Whadjuk Noongar people as the traditional owners and custodians of the unceded land on which we work. As we tour our work across these vast lands, we pay our respect to all First Nations elders, past and present. We celebrate their continuing connection and contribution to culture, country and community, and thank all First Nations peoples for their wisdom in caring for the land, the sky, the rivers and the sea.
