Alphington Show & Dog Show

The Alphington Show is a great chance for locals to get a little bit competitive and show off their crafting, baking, gardening, jam-making and art skills within the neighbourhood. Entries include both child and adult categories. The show celebrates the domestic arts and offers a chance to meet your neighbours and share your passions, talents and interests, with prizes in each category. 

 

The accompanying Alphington Dog Show is a neighbourhood favourite. Best trick, barkiest dog, best dressed… there’s a category suitable for the naughtiest and oldest of dogs! Click to see the entry form.
