Attendance at this year's Perth Royal Show has hit a 10-year low, as organisers blame "heavy downpours" amid complaints from vendors about a lack of support.

The show, which ran for eight days, finished on Saturday, with organisers confirming about 300,000 people walked through the gates.

That's a stark contrast to last year when free tickets for children, and half-price tickets for adults, subsidised by the government saw 438,700 tickets sold, the highest attendance since 2013.

Vendors this year say they were shocked by the low numbers, blaming the scant crowds on the cost of entry.
