What is a Royal A&P Show and what does it mean for you?
​
A Royal Show is the highest honour an agricultural and pastoral (A&P) show can receive from the Royal Agricultural Society of New Zealand (RAS). Royal Show status means our competitions carry national recognition, attracting the very best livestock and equestrian competitors from across New Zealand and beyond. But the impact of a Royal Show goes far beyond the show ring.
“Regaining the Royal A&P Show status for the 2025 event is a fantastic coup,” says Kate Acland, Chairperson of Beef & Lamb New Zealand. “It will mean a stronger showing of livestock competitors, more people through the gate, and more exposure for trade exhibitors, which means a stronger show overall. This is a great outcome for the entire Canterbury region.”
Christchurch Mayor Phil Mauger states “ This is more good news for Christchurch and Canterbury. These shows bring people from town and country together, supports local business, and celebrates everything that makes our rural communities so important to Canterbury and beyond. We can’t wait to welcome everyone back for what’s going to be an incredible event.”
