The Newcastle Show powered by Greater Bank is back in 2022 and you’re invited to come along and enjoy all the fun and entertainment that this year’s event has on offer.
Held at its traditional home of Newcastle Showground from Friday, 4 March through to Sunday, 6 March, the iconic event will celebrate the rich and diverse concepts from our rural traditions through to modern-day lifestyles.
A crowd of more than 50,000 is expected through the turnstiles across the weekend who will be treated to agricultural competitions, animal experiences, entertainment, carnival fun and much more.
Greater Bank is excited to be launching SPARK at the Newcastle Show. SPARK is a new digital platform for children featuring activities and educational tools designed to encourage healthy savings and money management habits.
Bring the kids down to the Greater Bank SPARK Marquee, located inside the Brown Road entrance, to take part in Sparkie’s Challenge and find out how quickly they can complete a variety of everyday tasks around the home. Race against siblings, friends, or even Sparkie himself, in a series of challenges for a chance to win some great prizes.
While the kids are challenging Sparkie and each other, parents can head to the Recharge Zone for a chance to chill-out and escape the hustle and bustle of the Show. Sit back and relax in the Comfy Corner, grab some refreshments from the nearby kiosk, all while the younger ones are entertained in Sparkie’s Art Corner.
