The 2021 Perth Royal Show will kick-off this Saturday, with discounted tickets, a walk-in COVID-19 vaccination clinic and traditional show favourites on offer.
This year, the State Government has helped subsidise the price of show tickets by providing $4 million of funding.
Lotterywest has also provided a further $650,000 grant to the Royal Agricultural Society of WA to support half-price tickets for kids on Thursday September 30 and for seniors on Friday October 1.
A total of 17,000 free entry tickets will be given to marginalised and disadvantaged children and families, seniors, people with disability and people from a culturally and linguistically diverse background.
For the first time, all ticket sales for this year’s Royal Show are online via the website or the Perth Royal Show app.
There are 314 showbags up for grabs with Consumer Protection inspecting almost 800 showbag toys to make sure they comply with Australian safety standards.
🛍️✅ Our product safety inspectors have given their 👍 to 107 show bags that will be sold at the Perth Royal Show.

Most of the 800 items were deemed safe, however a toy torch containing 3 button batteries was removed for for failing a drop test. https://t.co/tJJxW5LlqI pic.twitter.com/t4uXRmQ2b9
‘Roll up for WA’ will be in full swing at this year’s Perth Royal Show, with a walk-in vaccination clinic, and an information, education and booking hub.
Medical staff will be available and on hand to answer any questions and talk through the vaccination process.
Free buggy rides will also be available from the ‘Roll up for WA’ building to Tom Wilding Pavilion to get a vaccination.
A ‘Roll up for WA’ hub will open from 10am to 7pm all week with free kids’ activities, fun giveaways and much more.
"I encourage all Western Australians to take advantage of discounted tickets to enjoy a day out with family and friends and to support businesses recover from the impacts of COVID-19," Premier Mark McGowan said.
“If you’re taking your family to this year’s Royal Show and haven’t had a chance to get vaccinated yet, this is the perfect opportunity to walk in without an appointment.
“Anyone aged 12 and older can ‘Roll up for WA’ at this year’s Royal Show.”
