Where COmmunity comes to life

Welcome to CAHRS

We are the proud organisers behind the iconic, annual Canning Show, a beloved event celebrating tradition, local agriculture, and community talent. We manage the Cannington Exhibition Centre & Showgrounds.

With strong historical roots and a future-focused spirit, CAHRS delivers events and experiences year-round. The grounds are a vital community asset that provides inspiring spaces for hundreds of events, workshops, and cultural experiences annually. Whether it’s through hands-on learning, vibrant showcases, or local collaborations, we’re here to grow community, together.
