At the heart of the Sydney Royal Easter Show is the chance to get hands-on with life on the land, and in 2026 these country-to-city experiences remain as rich, welcoming and interactive as ever.

From paddocks to pavilions, families can step straight into farm life, meeting the animals, people and practices that shape Australian agriculture.

It’s not just about seeing – it’s about touching, trying, learning and sharing moments together.

      

Every year, the Sydney Royal Easter Show brings together Australia’s finest producers, makers and exhibitors in a spectacular celebration of skill, passion and tradition.

Across the Show’s arenas, pavilions and judging rings, thousands of competitors vie for top honours – from champion livestock and prize-winning produce to beautifully crafted cakes, preserves, art and design.
