The Rangiora A&P Show showcases the best of rural North Canterbury and attracts competitors and visitors from across our region and the South Island. The Northern A&P Association has been organising the show for more than 150 years, to bring town and country together to celebrate our local rural traditions.

The event features some of Canterbury’s best equestrian and rural sporting talent, including show hunter events, shearing, wood chopping, dance competitions and dog trials. Showgoers can also visit the livestock competition entries from our top breeders, including sheep, cattle, poultry, alpacas and more.

An abundance of food, craft/market and trade stalls will be on-site, plus vintage machinery, a range of entertainment and activities for kids’ including motorbike stunt riders, mounted games display, pedalmania, duck herding, the famous terrier race, a kids zone area and an Agricultural Display showcasing farm machinery.

Please note: The Friday is equestrian events only with the full show being the Saturday of Labour Weekend each year.
