Volunteering at the 2026 Sydney Royal Easter Show
Why Volunteer?
Our 500+ Sydney Royal Easter Show Volunteers are part of a diverse, inclusive, and passionate community within a broader network of nearly 3,000 volunteers who play a vital role in bringing the Show to life each year.
The fun, excitement, and strong sense of community keep volunteers coming back year after year. Quite simply, the Sydney Royal Easter Show would not be possible without the generosity, dedication, and enthusiasm of our volunteers.
Our volunteers elevate the experience for more than 900,000 visitors through their outstanding assistance and commitment to exceptional customer service. Volunteers play key roles as:
- Welcoming and directional ushers
- Information and customer service ambassadors
- Supporters of educational and agricultural activities for children and families
Volunteers are based across a wide range of pavilions focused on agriculture, animals, and education, helping to create a captivating, educational, and memorable experience for all our guests
By joining our volunteer team, you’ll experience the Show from a unique behind the scenes perspective, build new friendships, develop valuable skills, and be part of one of Sydney’s most iconic events.
