November 20th, 2025Magic day at Daylesford Show

This year’s Daylesford Show really does promise something for everyone – from magic, to bubbles, mini golf to music.

Cath Jamison

She has been described as a “wickedly funny entertainer (who) takes a feminine approach” to the world of magic.
Dawn French raved about her. “Love her, she’s fantastic, I want more.” Tim Burton called her “simply extraordinary”.
Cath, pictured right, will spend her time at the show as a roving magician, engaging with groups and individuals and will also run a magic workshop for juniors.
“We very much look forward to adding this new attraction to our free entertainment program” said John Nicholls, Daylesford & District Agricultural Society president and show secretary.

The bubble fairy

A very popular addition to the entertainment in 2024 was the bubble fairy, Fern, who creates giant bubbles for kids to jump up and pop.
Don’t be fooled by the tiny wings you see in the photos, the real ethereal wings are cosmic in size, shining bright with all the colours of the rainbow.

Mini golf
In 2025 the show will also welcome a mini golf course, courtesy of the Great Trentham SpudFest.
And it is hoped the petting zoo will be back after it was cancelled last year because of hot weather.
There will also be pony rides, the Puppet Man, rescue ferrets and a face painter. All free of charge.
Kids will be kept busy with plenty of activities in and around the Tom Ford Pavilion, including a children’s art table. It will also house the junior competitions and the school displays.

Music
There will be a music program under the shade sail featuring local choirs Sweet Justice and the Honeytones, the Cool Country Ukes, the Gordon Gypsies, Barbed Wire Canoe, a music group from Daylesford College and the Daylesford Community Brass Band.
Local music act Lake Mist will again perform in the Hall of Flowers.
See you at the show on Saturday, November 22. The gates, at Victoria Park, will be open from 9am to 3pm.
