Whether or not you are religious, this time of year envokes particular connotations. A few days off is one and perhaps a trip away. Chocolate is another and if you're Christian (I must say I am not) then it is probably the most significant time of the year for you.
For many however, it is all about Sydney's Royal Easter Show. The show, now at Homebush (to its detriment in my opinion), still sees families from rural and semi-rural areas coming in to the cities to show off their wares. Of course there are also those families that do the show circuit, travelling from town to town with their rides, stalls and exhibitions, but the Sydney show has some serious tradition and public support behind it.
For adults, tickets are $31, for children $21.50 and for concession card holders you'll pay $25.50. If you grab your tickets online you get a 10% discount.
I have only been to the show once since it moved to Homebush and it didn't quite have the feeling it did when it was at the showground, Moore Park, but the addition of live music, constant additions of live shows, an increasing number of agriculture exhibits and favourites such as the showbag pavillion and the plethora of rides, it really is a day you can pack a lot into.
