Thank you for Making the 2025 Show Unforgettable – See You in 2026!
Twelve days of competition, celebration, food and fun have wrapped up – but while we pack up and kick off preparations for the 2026 Sydney Royal – let’s look back at the Show that was…
A thank you from Murray
Lookback on the 2025 Sydney Royal Easter Show
Week 1
Week 1 of the 2025 Sydney Royal Easter Show dazzled with livestock and equestrian contests, and the new “Sky Flyer XXL” ride. Guests savoured gourmet treats, rocked to live country music, and dove into hands‑on farming workshops—setting a thrilling tone for the rest of the Show.
Week 2
Week 2 peaked with the Wrangler Federation Rodeo Challenge, where fearless cowboys and cowgirls battled for top honours, and the thunderous woodchop competitions tested raw strength and precision. Nightly fireworks lit up the sky as the Show came to an end.
2025 by the number:

Day 1
With the main gates flung open at 8.30am sharp, Day 1 attendees were welcomed by all-new and classic sights and Show-going fare. The Arts and Crafts pavilion – filled with culinary feats, knitting, sculpture, paintings, and more – hosted live judging of perishable cooking before quick-thinking, clarity, and diction were put to the test in the fast-talking LPA Young Auctioneers Competition State & National Finals.
Day 2
After a record-breaking first-day attendance, our Day 2 crowd were treated to a Grand Parade on the Main Arena, followed by the Official Opening Ceremony. Woodchopping had swung into its second day of competitions (with a contest every 10 minutes) and at the Districts Exhibition Perpetual Shield was presented, marking 125 years of the crowd-favourite Districts Exhibit – the gigantic three-dimensional display of the state’s produce and fibre.
Day 3
A day of celebrating the next generation of young Aussies from the bush – with The Land Sydney Royal AgShows NSW Young Woman 2024 Presentation, with a debate by the Rural Achiever finalists taking place in the Amphitheatre.
Day 4
Day 4 was Thank a Farmer- and 2UE Senior’s Day. Young and young-at-heart visited baby animals at the Farmyard Nursery; experienced life on the land at Jamieson Station; applauded the Hordern and Urquhart Trophy awardees on the cattle lawns; and the RAS Young Farmers Challenge tested teams in firefighting, animal handling, equipment assembly and first aid.
Day 5
Day 5 began with the over-a-century-old tradition – Pumpkin Bowls – played in the Woolworths Fresh Food Dome, while over at the Amphitheatre we welcomed our new Aussies at the Citizenship Ceremony.
Day 6
Day 6 attendees meandered through pavilions to see Shows of meat and dual purpose sheep, cavies, angora goats, and more, before rounding up at the Main Arena for the World Championship Campdraft Round 6 and Presentation.
