The much-beloved Sydney Royal Easter Show is Australia’s largest, annual ticketed event known for bringing the country to the city, where Show-going fans get up close to cattle, sheep, baby chicks, piglets, miniature goats and even alpacas.
All the crowd-favourites return year after year with cattle judging, sheep shearing, chicken hatching, pig washing and the much-loved Best in Show Dogs.
Exhilarating evening entertainment gets the whole family cheering with rodeo riders, campdraft competitions, high-flying moto-X bikes, and so much more. The night-time fireworks thrill everyone from babies to baby-boomers.
And that’s just the beginning!
