The show must go on, Woolworths has decided, with the supermarket giant to begin selling Sydney Royal Easter Showbags from their NSW stores today.

The annual Sydney Royal Easter Show, which attracts some 900,000 visitors each year, was cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic, leaving thousands of showbags unsold.

Starting from Wednesday, April 8, Woolworths will stock variety of themed bags, including Bakugan, Barbie, Friends, Hatchimals, Harry Potter, Hot Wheels, LOL, Paw Patrol, Peter Rabbit, PJ Masks, Pokemon and Stranger Things, at a price of $30 per bag.

Woolworths NSW General Manager, Michael Mackenzie said: “While we know Easter will be different this year, many Australian families will still be looking for ways to celebrate.

“With familiar traditions more important than ever during this challenging time, we wanted to do something special for those that have been left disappointed by the Sydney Royal Easter Show’s cancellation. We are pleased our customers will still be able to purchase these showbags in our stores, and hope it can continue to bring a little bit of joy to family homes over the Easter weekend.”

The showbags are available across 210 NSW stores, as well as online. Ninety-five stores will receive the entire Benson Showbag range, with the remainder receiving 12 different bags to choose from.
