About the Show
A celebration
of rural life
Since 1862, the Canterbury A&P Show has been Aotearoa's biggest stage for agriculture, food, equestrian excellence and country entertainment. From the grandstand spectacle to the backblocks of livestock alley, it's three days that bring the country and the city together like nothing else.
Bring the family, bring your friends, bring a paddock-sized appetite. We'll bring the show.
