RNA Showgrounds

The largest venue and event hire organisation in Queensland

The Royal National Agricultural and Industrial Association of Queensland Showgrounds (RNA) is a large scale 22 hectare outdoor and indoor venue located in the inner city of Brisbane.

The RNA Showgrounds, only 3km from Brisbane’s CBD, offers a distinctive location for any event. The RNA Showgrounds includes a mix of venues such as stadiums, auditoriums, exhibition halls, open green space and intimate historic buildings. Whether it is a music festival, exhibition, trade show, product launch or dinner, the RNA Showgrounds can accommodate any requirements. Only 15km from Brisbane Airport and within walking distance to bus stops and two train stations, the RNA Showgrounds is easily accessible to guests.

For ten days in August every year, Brisbane’s RNA Showgrounds transforms into Queensland’s annual event, the Ekka. During the quieter months the RNA Showgrounds hosts a range of different events and functions such as weddings, dinners, conferences, trade shows, music events, sales, private functions, exhibitions, film shoots and meetings.

The RNA Showgrounds became a social hub for musical, drama and sporting organisations in 1878.
