Easter Art Exhibition
and Tennis Tournament
.
Each Easter the Beverley Easter Art Exhibition is a drawcard for many visitors. It's a wonderful opportunity to see and buy work by local artists and artists from around the state. Each year prizewinning artwork is added to the Beverley Council's art collection on permanent display in the Station Gallery. Check the Calendar of Events for details of the next Art Show.
Easter is also the time for the tennis tournament that brings tennis players from around the state to compete in a 4 day-event on the grass courts at Beverley. The Beverley Tennis Courts are the scene of an active tennis club and are also available for hire at other times.
Vintage Day
The Avondale Clydesdale and Vintage Day is a wonderful nostalgic look at how ploughing was done in the old days. You'll see Clydesdale horses pulling a variety of ploughs and a large number of vintage tractors on display. Held in June each year, this a perfect day to visit Avondale Discovery Farm. Check the Calendar of Events for details and the Avondale Discovery Farm website for more information.
The Beverley Show is a traditional country town agricultural show - you'll be able to see cattle judging, watch pony events, check out the poultry and sheep and admire the displays of eggs, jams, cakes, vegetables, flowers and craftwork. Each year the Beute ute competition and displays of vintage machinery become more impressive. And the fireworks display is always a grand finale to the events of the day.
Held in August each year, you can check the Calendar of Events for details of the next Show.
Harvest Festival
One of the highlights of the year, the Avondale Harvest Festival is a chance to find out how crops have been harvested since the early days, see working dogs round up sheep, learn about new crops and taste local produce. There's music and dancing and wagon rides and much, much more.
