More than 80 stalls set up throughout the grounds will feature trade displays, antiques and collectables, linen, books, native and exotic plants, local honey, fruit, vegetables and juices, preserves, sweets, photography, and homemade and artisan arts and crafts. Plenty of foods and beverages will also be available.

Entertainment and demonstrations run during the day include live music, singing and performers, shingle splitting, sheep shearing, spinning and weaving, vintage machinery, home produce, animal and reptile displays, pony rides, a merry-go-round, a kids cup cake icing competition, the scarecrow competition voting, a lucky gate prize and the drawing of the big raffle.

A special competition this year will be the "Why I love my Chook" section to be judged by Paul Healy of talkback radio and newspaper fame. People are asked to bring their chook along to the Fair and enter into this fun attraction.

Another special attraction of the fair is the annual Middleton Country Fair Scarecrow Competition. The scarecrows can be seen north and south of Middleton: on fences, up paddocks and in trees. Visitors to the fair are invited to vote for their favourites, which in the past have ranged from donkey carts to pirates.

Middleton is located on the shores of Long Bay, 50 kilometers south of Hobart. The 45 minute drive along the Channel Highway meanders among picturesque paddocks and orchards and offers spectacular views of Bruny Island and the D\'Entrecasteaux Channel.

The Fair is run by a local voluntary committee with finances raised put back into community projects in the Channel area. Free parking and toilet facilities are available.
