Consider this: a quality full length presentation of Shakespearian work, beautiful period costumes, a stunning amphitheatre on the shore of a lake embedded within a botanical garden.  Not an adaption, not a simplified script but Shakespeare in all its glory, truthfully performed for astounded audiences by some of Australia’s best teen shakespearian actors. 

Since the first edition in 2017 almost 5000 audience members have enjoyed this event.  With numbers of almost 1000 per season in recent years; even more are expected for Romeo and Juliet. We are unaware of any youth theatre in Australia doing similar work, it is surely something the Sunshine Coast should be proud of and entertained by.

Where: The Amphitheatre, Noosa Botanic Gardens, Lake MacDonald, Cooroy

When: 2pm May 16, 17, 23, 24

Tickets: from $23

The Sunshine Coast Agricultural Show is a cherished annual event that brings together the region’s rich farming heritage, vibrant community spirit and love for all things rural.  Since 1900, the show has been a platform for showcasing local agriculture, produce, arts, crafts and entertainment, growing into one of the Sunshine Coast’s most anticipated traditions.

With livestock exhibitions, equestrian events, fresh produce displays, and hands-on agricultural experiences, the show highlights the importance of primary industries in the region.  In addition to its agricultural roots, it also celebrates the creativity and talents of local makers, performers, and young achievers through a variety of competitions and exhibitions.

Beyond the fun of thrilling rides, show bags, and live entertainment, the Sunshine Coast Show fosters education, connection, and appreciation for the region’s diverse industries.  Generations of families have made lasting memories here, and it continues to inspire pride in the Sunshine Coast’s rural heritage while embracing new ideas and innovation.  More than just a show – it’s a tradition that brings the community together year after year.
