Sydney’s iconic Royal Easter Show is back ON after being cancelled due to Covid – but things will be very different
- Sydney Royal Easter Show will return in April with guests capped at 60,000 daily
- Face masks are not compulsory and guests will be required to socially distance
- Covid-19 marshalls will be spread out across show along with cleaning stations
- The show was cancelled last April for the first time in 100 years due to Covid-19
The famous Sydney Royal Easter Show will be back on this April but it’ll look very different to how it was in the years before the Covid-19 pandemic hit.
Patrons will be capped at 60,000 each day over the 12 day show, which is around half the crowd Sydney Olympic Park usually sees each year.
Along with reduced numbers, organisers have implemented a string of measures to ensure visitors are kept Covid-safe such as installing up to 50 hand-washing and sanitising stations around the park.
Officials have said that currently face masks will not be mandatory nor will a temperature check.

The show will run from April 1 to April 12 with guests capped at 60,000 each day
Covid-19 marshals will also be stationed throughout the show ensuring people are socially distancing.
General Manager of Agriculture and the Show, Murray Wilton, said they had been working with NSW Health over the past six months to ensure the iconic event would go ahead safely.
‘Overall attendance has been capped at approximately half of what we would expect to see on an optimum day during a “normal” show,’ Mr Wilton said.
‘While we could theoretically host a larger number of ticket holders, we’ve taken a conservative and responsible approach to our attendance cap to ensure each area of the Show can be operated safely and in line with NSW Health guidelines.’
Australians can look forward to the Royal Easter Show this year after it was cancelled in 2020
Guests will be able to see which areas of the park are the most busy via the Royal Easter Show app
There will also be set ‘entry’ and ‘exit’ signs for patrons visiting the different arenas and pavilions around the event.
A customised patron counting system will also be introduced which will allow guests to check which areas are busy via the Easter Show app.
A team of 182 cleaning staff and 131 hygiene staff will be on site during public holidays while on other days there will be 152 cleaning staff working and 119 hygiene employees on.
Tickets will be sold almost exclusively online and guests will be required to check in upon arrival.
Last year was the first time the show was cancelled in more than 100 years due to the ongoing global coronavirus pandemic.
