Exhibition Park in Canberra (EPIC) is a 70 hectare showground and multi-building venue for exhibitions, conferences, and events located in the suburb of Lyneham (though commonly listed in the adjacent Mitchell) in Canberra, Australia.

Regular events

[edit]

There are a number of events held regularly at EPIC but in 2020, and into 2021 many were postponed, cancelled or changed in format as a result of crowd and travel restrictions imposed during the COVID-19 pandemic in Australia.
