Spending Easter in Sydney

By: Samuel Jefferson

Once a year, the country comes to the town of Sydney and the city folk get to experience some country life. 

Even though, many people think of the Easter time show to be of a children's playground, full of expensive voyages and screaming youngsters, there is another side to the Sydney show far more suited to adults.

 

Here is Why You Should Consider Spending Easter in Sydney:

The Grand Parades

Every year more than 1200 creatures are on show within the Grand Parades, and many more animals are on display in the animal pavilions ranging from alpacas to bees. Learn about the farming methods and produce associated with these kinds of animals.

 

The Sydney Regal Competitions

The spine of the Easter show is the Sydney Regal Competitions. Everything from martial arts styles & crafts, frogs & reptiles to wood chopping and cake making  are judged at the show.

Look at the pavilions to see the winners or watch one of many scheduled judgings. A favourite is usually the District Displays Competition, where farmers from designated regions get together to display their fresh produce in the most creative method they can.

If you happen to be there on the last day of the show, all the remainders are  auctioned away at bargain prices. Along with the animals and competitions - there is a range of entertainment and also shows enjoyable for all age groups - everything is described on Australian's Sydney Royal Competition's blog.

The key arena is a great spot to stop for lunch capture, some of the action, or go through the day’s program to determine what else will be on. A day at the Easter show can be turned into weekend with a stay in one of Sydney’s many hotels.

 

Look at the Hoopla Festival inside Darling Harbour

While staying in a comfortable Sydney accommodation spend the days free of charge at the Hoopla Festival within Darling Harbour.

This annual event brings the circus to town and runs for 5 days and 4 nights over Easter Saturday and Sunday. Hoopla is a weekend of tight ropes, trapeze, fire eaters as well as daring stunt challenges, with free events from 12am to 5pm daily.

For as little as $5 the fun continues through the night with crazy activities to give you a night to remember. If you are planning on staying in the city, don’t let it sit too late, as Sydney hotels will be booked early over Easter.

 

Do the Bondi to Bronte Coastal Walk

As long as it is not raining, Easter is really a great time to get out and enjoy the great outdoors. The high humidity of summer is long gone and generally Sydney experiences warm enjoyable days, ideal for strolling and getting outdoors. 

The famous Bondi to Bronte wander is without a doubt the most popular stroll in Sydney. The actual walk is 6 km long and winds along the coast with many spectacular vantage points and photo opportunities along the way. Team the walk with a city stay in one of the luxury resorts in Sydney.
