There are less than 100 days until the opening day of the 2024 Melbourne Royal Show! So, if you are thinking of exhibiting this year, be sure to keep a close eye on the closing dates and don’t miss out on being a part of all the action, to be held from Thursday 26 September to Sunday 6 October at Melbourne Showgrounds.

Melbourne Royal is deeply saddened to announce the recent passing of Damian Noseda. Damian began his journey as a Horse Steward at the Melbourne Royal Show in the early 1980s, assisting his father Jim with the popular Tent Pegging event. Over the years, Damian served as a Steward before being promoted to an assistant role in the swabbing area, located under the Ringmaster’s Rooms.

At Melbourne Royal we love bringing people together for a celebration, and more than 800 guests did just that at the 2024 Australian International Beer Awards Trophy Presentation on 16 May at the Victoria Pavilion at the Melbourne Showgrounds. I’d like to thank all industry participants for their support including brewers, judges, stewards and event staff who volunteered their valuable time and expertise.

The 2024 Melbourne Royal Australian International Beer Awards shone brightly as the best breweries and beers from across Australia and around the world were recognised for brewing excellence at the iconic Victoria Pavilion at Melbourne Showgrounds, on Thursday 16 May.

Melbourne Royal's commitment to cultivating and delivering outstanding events was acknowledged once again at the Victorian Meetings and Events Australia (MEA) Awards ceremony on Monday night, 29th April, held at SEALIFE Melbourne Aquarium.
