Sydney Royal Easter Show 2026: A Celebration of Australian Culture

2-13 April 2026

One of Australia’s most loved annual events, the Sydney Royal Easter Show returns from 2 to 13 April 2026, bringing twelve days of colour, culture and classic family fun to Sydney Olympic Park.

First held in 1823, the Easter Show has grown into a celebration of Australian agriculture, food, creativity and entertainment. From animal encounters and show competitions to carnival rides, fireworks and iconic showbags, it’s an experience that delights all ages.

For visitors planning multiple days at the Show, Pullman Sydney Airport offers a calm, well-connected base just a short trip from Sydney Olympic Park, making it easy to enjoy the action and unwind in comfort.

Agriculture & Animal Experiences

Get up close with Australia’s rural heritage through interactive and family-friendly animal experiences. Watch talented dogs and handlers in action at agility demonstrations, or introduce little ones to the joy of horse riding at Outback Pony Rides. Across the Show, livestock competitions and displays showcase the best of Australian farming traditions.

Australian Produce & Easy Eats

Food is a highlight of the Easter Show, with an ever-changing lineup of fresh produce and crowd-favourite snacks. From Big Bush BBQ and Chip on a Stick to Melon Fiesta and chocolate-coated strawberries, there’s something to satisfy every craving. Wine, gluten-free treats, handmade sauces and fresh pasta round out the offering, making it a true taste of Australia.

Gardening, Flowers & Creative Displays

The Flower and Garden Pavilion is a must-visit for green thumbs and casual browsers alike. Expect expert talks, workshops and live demonstrations, along with vibrant floral displays and practical advice to help your garden thrive. The Sydney Royal Arts & Crafts Show also showcases creativity at its finest, featuring Australia’s largest arts and crafts competition.
