The team are working hard to make the 2023 Fair a fantastic day and we want to thank everyone who has already contributed through donations and sponsorship.

Saturday, 25th February 2023 9am – 2pm

Over recent years the ECF Committee has really focused on not just raising money but creating a community event for all ages to enjoy. Part of that has seen wonderful local organisations such as Eglinton RFS, Denison Dog Training Club, Bathurst Soaring Club and Bathurst BMX Club, along with Blacksmith Demonstrations and Chainsaw Competitions join us for a day of interaction and demonstrations.

If you are part of a local club or organisation and are interested in showcasing what you do at the Eglinton Country Fair we’d love to hear from you. We provide a complimentary site for you to display and/or demonstrate – all we ask is that you engage with and inform our visitors to the Fair.

Contact us at eglintoncountryfair@gmail.com or leave a message with the school office. If you’re interested but have questions let us know - we are happy to have a chat to you about what’s involved.

Huge Thank You to the local businesses who have already reached out to donate sponsorship and prizes for the 2023 Fair!

Planning is underway to ensure that next year’s event is another fun family day for the Bathurst community as well as being profitable to assist with the purchase of equipment for our school.
