English: Luddenham Showground is an agricultural showground in Luddenham, New South Wales. It is home to the Luddenham Agricultural Show, which originated in 1891 and is located at the northern edge of the village reserve on Park Road and the corner of Campbell Street. The grounds comprise an assortment of corrugated metal clad buildings possibly dating from the early years of the twentieth century, and timber framed shelters and stands. The grounds are cleared with stands of mature shade trees. The grounds are enclosed by a high chainmesh fence.

The Luddenham showground is a unique example in the LGA of a traditional rural showground reserve. The grounds continue in use and contain a collection of traditional rural corrugated metal clad sheds and timber framed stands set within cleared ground with clusters of mature native and exotic shade trees. The reserve forms an integral component of Luddenham village and provides an item of high aesthetic and historic interest in the townscape which defines the northern edge of the village.
