Everything you need to know
On Thursday, 20 August 2026, FarmX will be held at its new home, the Deloraine Showgrounds.
Just 40 minutes from Launceston, in the heart of one of Tasmania's most productive farming regions, the Deloraine Showgrounds provides the ideal setting for a day dedicated to practical knowledge, meaningful connections, and the future of agriculture.
Steeped in agricultural history, the showgrounds have been the home of the Deloraine Agricultural & Pastoral Society for generations, hosting livestock competitions, equestrian events, wood chopping, and one of Tasmania's most respected country shows. It's a venue built by agriculture, for agriculture.
As FarmX continues to grow, we've chosen a location that reflects what the event is all about, bringing farmers together to share ideas, discover practical solutions, and gain the knowledge, connections, and confidence to turn ideas into action.
Whether you're travelling from across Tasmania or interstate, this page has everything you need to plan your visit, including accommodation options, travel information, parking, and local amenities to help make your FarmX experience as smooth as possible.
