We can tailor a customised sponsorship package to meet your objectives.
The Ravensdown Canterbury A&P Show is brought to you by the Canterbury Agricultural & Pastoral Association, a not-for-profit membership organisation with a strong heritage of celebrating excellence in agriculture and building a connected rural community. Since 1863, this iconic annual event has been on the agribusiness/farming and events calendar, and this year, on our 163th anniversary, it’s set to be even better.

Ribbons and rosettes are more than a prize. They’re a moment of pride for competitors and a lasting reminder of the day. By sponsoring a ribbon or rosette, you’re directly supporting the tradition of celebrating excellence at the Show, from champion livestock to prize-winning Woodchoppers, each ribbon and rosette travels home to take pride in a winner’s collection.
Starting at just $50, this is an easy way for individuals and small businesses to get involved with the Show and give something back to the community.
The Ravensdown Canterbury A&P Show is made up of hundreds of individual classes and sections, each drawing its own dedicated following and interest. From serious competitors and breeders to families exploring the Show for the first time, these sections bring a steady flow of visitors across all three days. Bringing together top exhibitors and entrants from across New Zealand, each section runs its own full schedule of classes throughout the Show. Becoming a section sponsor places your brand at the centre of the action, with your name associated with the class you support and visible to a highly engaged, on-the-ground audience.
Sponsorship benefits include; naming rights, signage across the grounds & on event programmes , MC & commentary mentions, brand mentions in event wide & section marketing
From live music and stage shows to demonstrations, competitions, and family entertainment, the Show’s entertainment zones and stages are where the atmosphere really comes alive. They’re a natural gathering point for visitors throughout the day, offering a chance to pause, relax, and enjoy the action alongside everything else the Show has to offer.
Becoming an entertainment zone or stage sponsor puts your brand front and centre in one of the Show’s busiest and most memorable spaces. With a captive audience gathering throughout all three days, it’s an excellent opportunity for high-visibility branding and signage in a high-energy setting.

Activation sites are where visitors stop, interact, and spend time, think hands-on experiences, interactive displays, giveaways, and branded spaces that go beyond a standard trade site. They’re designed to draw people in and keep them engaged, making them one of the most talked-about parts of the Show for those who visit.
Sponsoring an activation site gives your brand a dedicated space to connect directly with Show visitors, creating a memorable experience rather than passive exposure. With high foot traffic across all three days, it’s a standout opportunity to leave a lasting impression on a genuinely engaged audience.
