Canterbury A&P Show, 10th - 12th November

Billed as the show that sees "country come to town", the Canterbury A&P show is the largest agricultural and farming show in the South Island and offers visitors and locals an excellent opportunity to enjoy a fun day out with plenty of things to do and see including:

Canterbury A&P Show, Christchurch
  • Farmyard and livestock pavillion including demonstrations (shearing and milking)
  • Carnival rides and attractions
  • Sheep dog trials
  • Wood chopping demonstrations and competition
  • Show jumping and horse and pony trials
  • Helicopter joy rides
  • Livestock competitions
  • Food and wine pavillion
  • Machinery parade

Plus cooking demonstrations, stalls and live entertainment. A&P shows are held throughout the country although not quite on the same scale as the Canterbury show so this is a great one to visit, especially if you are travelling with children. If you'd like to get more information about this year's programme of events, visit the Canterbury A&P 2010 show website.

A&P Show Accommodation in Christchurch

If you are visiting Christchurch, you can choose from a wide range of accommodation. During 'show weekend' accommodation will get booked up as many of the show's participants and visitors are from out of town, so we advise you to book early.

All accommodation can be viewed and booked online. View more accommodation choices.
