Nova’s (Not)The Royal Show – Review 2021
Nova’s (Not)The Royal Show is the show we couldn’t have, in a mini size.
When this year’s Royal Adelaide Show was cancelled again, Nova’s Ben & Liam had one of their bright ideas. What if Nova organised a COVID-FRIENDLY version of the Royal Show and invited all of Adelaide’s families along? Introducing Nova’s (Not) the Royal Show at Bonython Park on until Sunday 17 October 2021.
It’s got all the rides, sideshow games, showbags, Dagwood Dogs, Curly/Twisted Chips, Slushies and fairy floss to give you your fun fix. Here’s a look around from when we went.
See the post below for some sneak peek videos:

Food:
Food options include Dagwood Dogs, Curly/Twisted Chips, Slushies and fairy floss. Plus, we spotted the Moroccan Moorish Bites, Route 66, and Taste of Paradise with vegan, gluten & dairy free, Acai bowls and more. You are also able to take your own food.
Seating:
There are tables and chairs at a few spots around the place with umbrellas, plus the large Nova tent chill zone. There’s grassy areas to sit too. In the late afternoon there was shade over some areas but early on and midday, you would need to protect yourself from the sun on a warm day with hats and sunscreen.
Paw Patrol characters:
We didn’t spot the Paw Patrol characters to take a pic, but they are roaming during the two day sessions.
There are 3 sessions per day:
- 10am – 1pm
- 2:30pm – 5:30pm
- 7pm – 10pm
Fireworks:
Fireworks are at 9:30pm daily, only for the 7-10pm session (weather permitting).
Masks:
Masks are necessary for everyone 12 years and over. You must check in using QR code or manually. Of course, don’t attend if you are sick.
Parking:
Car parking is $8.50 (there are 2 car parks on either side) and there are also some parks near the Bonython playground which is always a great stop while you are in the area. Cafe Bonython is right beside the playground too for coffee and cute shakes and snacks.
The Show is on until Sunday 10 October 2021 – READ MORE HERE
Location:
Bonython Park, Port Road, Adelaide
