A not-for-profit organisation dedicated to enriching the lives of our community.

They provide platforms, activities, and events that encourage participation in agricultural and horticultural interests, cultural and artistic pursuits, sport and recreational pastimes which enrich the community through the use of the resources of the Society.

They have around 450 diverse events, classes, workshops, expos etc held in our Canning Exhibition Centre & Showgrounds each year.

The Cannington Exhibition Centre is located on the Corner Albany Highway and Station Street, Cannington.

Located 10 kilometres from Perth CBD, it entails two halls and grounds, easy to find with ample parking enclosed within the Canning Showgrounds.

The Canning Show is their key annual event, with approximately 10,000 people annually being entertained and inspired, including through the Exhibition, one of the largest in the state of its kind.

They also promote the development of agricultural, pastoral, horticultural, viticulture and industrial resources of Western Australia through a range of activities over the last 112 years, but are continually striving to adapt and reflect current changes, technologies and community interests.
