Melbourne Minute – Royal Melbourne Show

The Royal Melbourne Show kicks off this weekend at the Melbourne Showgrounds and while I highly recommend the planning app to make the most of your visit, here’s a guide to this year’s Show in a minute.

If you’ve got little ones then the Jayco Animal Nursery is the place to be, housing more than 450 animals and a patting pen.

For foodies, visit the Tastes of Victoria Pavilion, which is home to the Royal Melbourne Fine Food Deli and pop-up restaurant featuring dishes from some of Melbourne’s hottest restaurants.

If you’re a fan of MasterChef then take a behind-the-scenes look at the show on a Kitchen Tour – you may even bump into a former contestant!

Justice Crew and Dami Im are just some of the music stars that will perform in the Herald Sun Entertainment Dome, and finally, you simply can’t leave the Show without a show bag. This year there’s 385 on offer including the $2 iconic Bertie Beetle show bag.

The Royal Melbourne Show runs until Wednesday, 1 October.
