Onsite accommodation
Due to the evolving situation with respect to COVID-19, on-site accommodation arrangements may change. The RAS continues to work with NSW Health.
Sydney Royal urges Exhibitors to consider their accommodation requirements for 2021 and plan accordingly. Please note the below before reading into the accommodation options.
- Persons under the age of 18 years of age are NOT permitted to stay overnight on the Showground, unless accompanied by an adult.
- Lofts are not exclusive and must be shared with other Exhibitors unless an Exhibitor has 5 horses or more. Covid Safe Physical Distancing must be observed at all times whilst using the loft spaces.
- Tackrooms are not mutually exclusive and must be shared with other Exhibitors. Covid Safe Physical Distancing must be observed at all times whilst using the Tackrooms.
- To ensure the health and safety of Exhibitors, the rules of your accommodation on the Showground will be strictly enforced. Breach of any accommodation and fire regulation rules may result in Disciplinary Action under the General Regulations. Penalties include removal of Awards, fines, eviction from the Showground and disqualification from future Shows.
Loft space allocation
Due to Covid Restrictions and based on current guidelines and conditions, the following applies:
- A maximum of three people per loft space are permitted if all Exhibitors are from the same household.
- A maximum of one person per loft space will be allocated where Exhibitors are not from the same household.
- There is to be no sleeping in tackrooms or stables.
Loft accommodation is above the tackroom/locker and will be allocated where possible. This is allocated by the RAS relative to stable requirements and is free of charge.
