Unpacking fun at the Easter Show

Showbags for the 2021 Sydney Royal Easter Show (the Show) have been revealed today by a team of mini judges who tasted and inspected their way through 375 Showbags.
 
Ready for the challenge, a team of 44 kids from Royal Far West at Manly and some of our very own Sydney Royal competitors from the Zone 26 Pony Club had their work cut out for them as they gave their verdict on the top 10 Showbags for this year, plus the Top 5 Showbags under $10.
 
The Show’s Manager of Operations and Product Development, Shane McGrath, said Showgoers will be spoilt for choice with an extensive range of Showbags across a broad value offering up for grabs.
 
“There’s something for everyone this year with Showbags ranging in price from $2 to $30, and our Show traditionalists will be pleased to see that the classic $2 Bertie Beetle bag is back for another year,” Mr McGrath said.
 
“It has been fantastic to see our group of Showbag testers here today, having fun and unpacking this year’s Showbags at the Royal Agricultural Society of NSW’s iconic pavilion, The Stables.
 
“We expect the new Bluey #1 and Harry Potter Charms Showbags to be incredibly popular this year, and there are some great bargains to be had with 114 Showbags costing $10 or less.”

The Show team have put together their top three tips to help make the most of your visit and speed up the all-important selection process:

1. Jump online at www.eastershow.com.au and plan – each of the Showbags on offer is listed here, plus you can compile your own Showbag wish list to print out and bring along to the Show.

2. Know your budget – with 114 Showbags for $10 and under, there is a Showbag to suit every family budget.

3. Before you go – the Showbag Pavilion is a Show tradition and gets a lot of foot traffic every day. Hop onto our Easter Show app before you go, to check current capacity and avoid queues. 

Murray Wilton, General Manager of the Show, said that Showgoers should head to the Easter Show website to plan ahead and make savings across the board.
 
“There are savings to be made by purchasing Early Bird tickets online before midnight 31 March, with the price of Family Tickets ($99.50) frozen for the seventh year in a row,” he said.
 
“Showgoers can also make savings on carnival coupons by purchasing online ahead of time.
 
“Kids’ Day is happening on Monday, 12 April, the last day of Show, where entry for children is half price at $13.50.
 
“My message to everyone is visit our website early to secure your ticket – www.eastershow.com.au. Tickets are strictly limited, and we don’t want you to miss out.”
 
The Show runs from 1 – 12 April 2021. Visit www.eastershow.com.au for more information.
