2026 Trade Information Pack
Inside the Trade Information Pack, you’ll find everything you need to know about the 2026 Show, including the meaningful changes we’ve made to the layout, visitor experience, and overall event flow.
Our goal is to ensure every trade exhibitor feels supported, valued, and confident that their presence contributes to the heart of the event.
Since 1863, the Canterbury A&P Show has been New Zealand's biggest stage for agriculture, food, equestrian excellence and country entertainment. From the grandstand spectacles in the Bayleys Premier Show Ring to the backblocks of trade on Deans Ave, it's three days that bring the country and town together like nothing else.
You bring your business. We'll bring 70,000 reasons to be there.
A celebration of rural life
