A Walk Through Time To Yesteryear

Show bags, rides and chips on a stick. Whilst these are some of the highlights at Sydney’s Royal Easter Show today, it has a rich history dating all the way back to the 1800’s.  

The 1870’s were a revolutionary time for the Show as it moved from Parramatta to Prince Alfred Park, officially bringing the country to the city.

The Heritage Pavilion has a range of photographs, costuming and replicas dating back to 1870’s

This allowed for the Show to recreate itself as it moved to include women in the agricultural event by becoming a good family day out showcasing  commercial exhibitors, arts and craft, entertainment, music and performances and orchestras.

The Heritage Pavilion offers and insight into the Show from yesteryear with a wide range of exhibits from genuine 1870s attire, a working nineteenth century Grand Concert Street Organ, dress ups and a telegraph display allowing to you learn Morse Code.

You can check this out everyday at Grand Parade, corner Hawkesbury Street from 9.30am-6.30pm with tours commencing at 11am.

Dana Hamilton and Patty Doran visited the Heritage Centre and chatted to Karen Finch from the Royal Agricultural Society.
