23.04.2014 - the last day of the 2014 Easter Show - a very large crowd, despite some exhibits starting to close, and be dismantled.

 

The Sydney Royal Easter Show, also known as the Royal Easter Show or simply The Show, is an annual show held in Sydney, Australia over two weeks around Easter. It is run by the Royal Agricultural Society of New South Wales and was first held in 1823. Queen Victoria, (1837–1901), awarded the society and its show the right to use the word "Royal" in its name.

 

The Show is historically an event where "city meets country" and the rural industries of Australia can be shown and celebrated once a year.

 

The Show comprises an agricultural show, an amusement park and a fair and combines the elements of each, showcasing the judging of livestock and produce. This comprehensive fair has many competitions including arts and crafts, photography and cookery, as well as tests of strength and skill such as wood chopping.

The Show also has shopping, restaurants, commercial stands and exhibits, a horticultural display, a national accredited conformation dog show and cat show, and stage and arena shows.

The Show currently attracts over one million people per year.

 

The Sydney Royal Easter Show is the largest event held in Australia, and the sixth largest in the world.
