The Royal Easter Show is one of our favourite times of the year. The showbags, the baby animals, the ducks on the slide (my number one highlight of the day), the Woolworths Food Dome! So much to do, so little time to do it!
This year, thanks to the Royal Agricultural Society of NSW, we have 2x 4 passes to give away. This means we will be giving two families of four the chance to experience the Royal Easter Show for FREE! (well free to get in any way- what you spend while you are there is on you.)
All you have to do is tell us below what you love most about the Royal Easter Show!

I love the memories from my childhood that come flashing back to me when I attend the easter show with my kids, leaving school early, spending hours looking through the showbag guides and watching the fast cars and shows in the Arena.
There’s so much to love about the Easter show! My family always look forward to this event! It’s become a family tradition – we’ll catch the train there, then walk through the turnstiles! seeing and hearing the crowd! the anticipation! What a buzz! However, my favourite part is taking my kids to see the Animal Nursery! They so cute and cuddly! My boys love patting and feeding the lambs, kids, rabbits and ponies! I remember when I first took my eldest son 6 years ago – seeing his eyes widen in awe and a permanent smile planted on his face! This year will be extra special for us because -it will be my little baby girl’s first Easter show! I can’t wait! I’m so excited! Maybe even more than my children!
My favourite thing at the show is seeing my children’s faces when they watch the shows! Especially the extremely loud motorcycle extremists!!
My favourite part of the show is paying a visit to the CWA ladies and enjoying their amazingly yummy scones! I got to share this with my daughter a couple years back and they fell in love too! I hope to go back again this year 😊
I love that my kids can get a little taste of the country and also a carnival at the same time.
My kids have never been to the Easter Show but when I was a little girl growing up I loved looking at the cakes, the fruit displays and how talented people are.
I hope I am lukcy enough to win as it would be amazing to take the boys.
The petting zoo. My 11yr daughter is a huge animal lover and prefers this over the rides. Also my 8mth can attend his 1st Easter Show 😍🐰🐇🐣🐥🐖🐎
Unlimited Variety of Delicious Foods
Love the cooking demonstrations & taste testing….
My children loves the thrill seeking rides & watching the cars & bikes in Big Arena
I usually take a throw away bag full of frozen water & cordial & fresh fruit for a healthy break after all the sugary treats…
I love that it brings people from all cultures together. I also love that the city folk get a bit of a chance to see some farm and farmer things.
Plus rides and fireworks! My favourite things!!
Ps I can’t wait to see your, oh I mean …Tully’s Easter hat 😂😂😂
The lacework competition, the flowers, the Beagles and the Show food! But best of all the atmosphere- the Royal Easter Shiw is just magical! Our twins are 6 but have never been- we’ve taken them to my hometown’s annual show but they want to see where the champions end up!
Showbags and the Food Hall
I have never been to the Royal Easter Show! Hubby had and has raved on about the amount of rides, showbags, displays etc etc. I guess it’s a thing where you wouldn’t believe it until you saw it with your own eyes!
I LOVE how I can regress to the same maturity as my kids, scream with excitement on the rides, eat calorie laden goodies, push and shove my way through the showbag pavilion and yell and cheer for my favourite wood chopper!
To be honest I have never been to the royal easter show I have always wanted to but as a child I grew up with just my mum who was a single mum on a pension and there was never spare money for things like that.
I have wanted to take my children but now I am also a single mum I know what my mum went through and how hard it was and is. My kids would love this opportunity ❤️
I love the people at the show. Families, staff, performers, kids and big kids. Everyone is so expressive, kids are seeing things for the first time, adults through their eyes. The amazement and wonder is infectious!
I love everything about the show. I have gone every year since a baby and i love that i can now take my two daughters and create lovely menories with them. I love the animsls, rides and the delicious hot donuts. The fire works are akso always amazing.
I went to the show every year as a kid and as an adult until life got in the way. I always bought the same show bags and loved the vegetable displays. Id love to share the experience with my kids and take them to the night show, the performance cars with the guy coming in on the flying fox. I just love it even though it always rained as a kid.
Omg we would love to experience the Easter show we recently moved from Western Australia and all the paw patrol activities my kids would be in heaven!! What a great way to spend Easter!!
I love walking around with child-like wonder, as I reminisce about my own childhood, whilst seeing the same memories being created for my own children.
I love the showbags, fairy floss & Dagwood dogs, but my favourite part of the Easter show is watching the fireworks on the Ferris wheel with my hubby & our 4 Kids.
My favourite part has always been the food displays where the regions make scenes out of food. It’s the only place to see it, and the smells and atmosphere are unique
We love going to the Easter show for a family tradition every year .. Hubby, our 3 kids and myself …
We love buying show bags, going on rides and staying all afternoon for dinner and the awesome fireworks displays
Love everything about the show… showbags, crazy food, rides, shows its a great family day out.
Just being a kid again along with the kids. Rides, animals, showbags!! It’s such a wonderful yearly tradition
I love the memories it brings for me. My dad used to take my sister and I as a special treat most years (he worked shift work and it was rare to see him) as Easter usually fell between his birthday and mine.
I am yet to take my little ones with hubby but would love them to create the same memories, of laughter and joy, of the animals and woodchoppers, of choosing show bags, looking at the cakes (my mum entered a few times), of spending time together as a family.
Royal Easter Show is a fantastic day
Showbags, rides, animal displays
Farmyard nursery, feeding the chicks,
But you just can’t beat cheese on a stick!
I love the Easter Show, particularly all the different displays (fruit n veg display is my favourite). We haven’t been for quite a few years as not able to afford it. Will love to be able to take our kids.
HORSE-ing around at the show
RIDE-ing high on excitement like a FIREWORK
SHEAR joy on the kids faces
WOODN’t miss it for the world!
I love that my kids get a taste of the country. When we went a few years ago, my youngest daughter at the time thought the cow was going to be sucked into the milking machine and was horrified! 😂 Thankfully the show is a learning experience and a fun adventure.
Exhibits, wood-chopping, fairy-floss so sticky.
Gorgeous animals who’ve come to the city.
Kid’s eyes popping in the show-bag hall.
The rides, where the screams say it all.
An amazing day finished with firework colours.
The Easter Show – just like no other!
The animals, the food, the beer and wine,
The whole family will have a cracking good time,
Dog shows, woodchopping, exhibits galore,
Sounds, tastes and smells we adore.
My family go wild as we enter the front gate,
And boy do the kids sleep when we get home late!
First we head straight to the animals,
Giving them a cuddle.
We don’t stop till we’ve seen,
the cute ducklings waddle.
The show bags and rides,
Bring so much delight.
But the farmyard nursery,
brings the biggest smile!
(E)aster bunny family pictures
(A)viary bird show and animals walk
(S)howbags and spending time with the family
(T)oasties and delicious food
(E)vening fireworks we admire
(R)ides that are so fun
(S)o much fun all in one show

Love heading to the wood chop,
It’ll give satisfaction to my pop,
Love seeing wood chop in action,
It must give them great satisfaction,
Chopping strong and fast on the go,
Champions at the Easter Show!
Happy Easter to you!
What I love most about the Easter show is seeing all the animals and the fruit and veg displays! But my children love going home and opening up all their show bags – it’s like Christmas!

I love the memories that flood back from my childhood. Cheese on a stick, the food hall and of course the grand parade. Weve taken my eldest whos now 6 but have yet tobtale our 3 yo twins. Would love to pass on the easter show tradition.
We love meeting every animal,
we walk each and every row.
We’re most excited to see the chicks,
they’re our favourite at the show!!
Here’s why I love the EASTER SHOW:
ENTERTAINMENT wonderland – carnivals of exciting rides – ferris wheel, slides, jumping castles, trucks, motorbikes, trapeze acts, young talents performing, fireworks displays
AWESOME ANIMALS of all types – alpacas, ponies, sheep, cattle, horses, pigs, chickens, rabbits, goats – you name it!
SHOWBAG heaven – ranging from cheap ones to dear ones, yummy ones, dress ups, toys, costumes and ones with goodies you can’t wait to enjoy! A must for my kids!
THE GRAND PARADE – at the Spotless Stadium – being able to see the hardworking producers, winning animals and future community leaders as well as the Australian citizenship ceremony – welcoming our excited new Australians!
EATING FOODS of sorts from an array of food trucks- they’re so delicious eg gozleme, corn on the cob, sandwiches, hotdogs, burgers, fairy floss, snow cones, schnitzels, donuts, waffles, ice cream and pies yummy!
RURAL LIVING ON DISPLAY – seeing dairy farmers at work and milking, flowers, arts and crafts such beautiful craftsmanship!
SHOWS AND DEMONSTRATIONS – such as the sheep shearing, woodchopping, cooking demonstrations, bakers challenge and dog shows – go Paw Patrol! My kids love it!
HATCHERY – of cute adorable baby chicks being hatched and chickens being washed at the Steggles Poultry Pavilion!
OH WHAT A DAY OF CREATING MEMORIES! And last but not least to remember to be water wise! And enjoy
WOOLWORTHS FRESH FOOD DOME – what glorious food displays and colourful arrangements!
I have the fondest memories of going to The Sydney Royal Easter Show as a kid. I remember going with our whole family by train from Penrith. My dad knew the train driver and he invited us up into the drivers carriage. It was an old red rattler. We took turns in pressing the horn and it was so much fun.
That day, my dad bought me a Hollie Hobby doll on a stick. He said it reminded him of me. I remember seeing all the beautiful displays in the produce halls, corn on the cob, the woodchopping, the fireworks and all the fun we had together as a family.
No one knew that my dad was sick at the time and passed away a month after.
I still have that Hollie Hobby dolly… it’s hanging in my daughter’s room. In memory of my dad.
It would be amazing to win tickets and to be able to create fond memories for our kids to remember and pass on to their children.
Mine is simple.
It’s seeing my kids faces light up as we head towards the entry and they can see all the rides and hear all the fun that’s to be had behind those gates.
The day fills my heart with so much love just seeing them have so much fun!
My favourite time is when I rejoin my husband and 3 little boys, after they’ve given me some alone time in the Woolworths pavilion! Refreshed and ready for the rest of the day!
I am in awe at the endless talent displayed in the Arts and Crafts area. Everyday people who are given their time to shine, as they show their brilliant works from painting, photography, card making, cake decorating, leather work, knitting, crochet and more! The items on display are a sight to behold and a true credit to gifted people with a lot of creativity, imagination, dedication and even more patience! It’s always a highlight, with a great community feel at the Sydney Royal Easter Show.
I love hitting up the Woolworths dome for some free food samples, followed by some amazing scones by the CWA! It’s all about the food!
Mouth-watering new taste sensations
Never repeated combinations
We’ll buy the MKR showbag then dare to try
The spaghetti bun burger and donut pie!
I just love how it’s a family tradition! It’s a day that I always spent with my parents, and now I’m creating new adventures with my kids . I could list all the other cool things but it’s the company and smiles that truly make the day, ok I lie, any good on a stick and a show bag really is key lol !!
