Allora: On show

We are looking forward to another great show and the dedication of our recently renovated Grandstand.

The Animal Nursery will be outside the Pavilion all weekend for the children and adults to ‘bond’ with and everyone is invited to Make and Play at the free family activity centre (Kismet) where kids can make art and craft, play games, listen to stories, interact with puppets and be amazed by their magician!

With workshops like juggling ball, window panel, necklace and finger puppet making, sewing and cartooning there is plenty to make while stories, puppets and magic whirl the audience.

Of course Mum and Dad can join in or just enjoy the shade while their artists help the kids create a keepsake, something to remind them of their time at the show.

On Friday night from 5 – 8 pm only, 2 for 1 vouchers are given for sideshow alley so come in early, grab a bite to eat from the many vendors then head to your favourite rides. This year there is a new ride, first on the circuit at Allora, called ‘STARS’, as well as the Ferris Wheel and Dodgem Cars, so come and try them all out.
