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 Top 10 Showbags for 2021 (in no particular order) are: 1. Bluey #1 ($30) 2. Super Slime ($15) 3. Minnie Mouse Bag ($30) 4. Pokémon ($30) 5. Cadbury Dairy Milk Superbag ($10) 6. Kit Kat (Super Range) ($15) 7. Harry Potter Charms ($30) 8.
