“Unfortunately, as a result of the lockdown, we have had to cancel Wednesday’s show to allow us and all our volunteers, section committees, commercial exhibitors etc. enough time to set up to produce the best possible show,” the Facebook post reads.

Anyone over 12 years of age will be required to wear a face mask and for those who forget, masks will be offered at the gate.

“Along with masks, hand sanitiser will be all over the site and Covid measures will be taken to ensure safety,” it reads.

The Royal Hobart Show will be open Thursday 8am-1pm, then 2-7pm, Friday 9am-3pm, then 4-10pm, and Saturday 9am-4pm.
