Canterbury A&P Association
The Canterbury Agricultural and Pastoral Association has held the annual Show every year since 1862. Livestock and machinery exhibits featured from the outset.
The Show has a proud history of promoting Canterbury agricultural and pastoral interests and is New Zealand’s largest A&P Show. It is the jewel in Canterbury’s agricultural and entertainment crown and continues to build on a long and successful reputation for bringing the country to town.
The Show attracts on average 110,000+ people over three days, close to 600 Trade Exhibitors and over 7000 Livestock and Feature Competition entries.
The Association will celebrate its 150th Show in 2012.
