More than just a bunny
While it is one particular animal that usually gets the spotlight at this time of year, the Sydney Royal Easter Show ensures every animal gets its share of love!
The Royal Easter Show will be returning again this year from the 26th of March to the 8th of April and will be bringing with it all the great rides, entertainment and showbags that make it such a hit every year.
Whether they are cute and cuddly or big and beastly, the animals are always a star attraction and a great place to start your Easter adventure. Check out the Animal Walk where you can enjoy the nursery and make new fluffy friends, or get down to work by visiting the sheep shearers or the milking barn.
However, for all you adults who just want to relax, the Sydney Royal Beer and Wine Garden is for you. Showcasing the very best in beer, wine and cider and featuring a great selection of cheese and deli meat plates, there is no better place to unwind!
We have two FREE double passes and family passes to give away. To go into the running see our Giveaways page and tell us in 25 words or less what you are most excited to see at the Show.
Masterclassy
Casa Barilla’s Chef Series is a great, authentic Italian cooking experience, featuring all of the best Italian chefs across Sydney. This year’s series will begin on the 30th of March with Francesco Spataro from Norton Street’s Aperitivo, where he will be demonstrating both a fantastic wood-fire pizza recipe, with a wood-fire stove being brought in specifically, as well as a more traditional pasta recipe.
The next masterclass, held on the 15th of April, will feature Paolo Gatto as the guest chef. Best known for his restaurant Gatto Matto in Five Dock, Paolo has recently opened a new restaurant in Concord with a focus on Italian street food and this will be the inspiration for his class.
Both classes are $50 per person and include drinks and antipasti on arrival, the two piatti taught by the chefs and gelato. If you are inspired to get a little Mediterranean in the kitchen, either of these two classes are a great place to start!
