Waimate Showgrounds, New Zealand
Set at the foot of the Hunters Hills with the legendary white horse towering above the grounds, the Southern Canterbury Agricultural and Pastoral Association hosted it’s inaugural A&P Show in 2011 along with a Spring Equestrian Show.
Our association is an amalgamation of the former Timaru and Waimate A&P Associations and so brings to you the combined experience of over 270 years of annual shows.
With the modern multipurpose A&P Shears Pavilion hosting up to 250 people, yarding for 460 horses, as well as 20 hectares of grounds available for hire — there’s options aplenty.
The A&P Shears Pavilion is Waimate’s premier indoor event venue and has hosted everything from weddings to balls to seminars to funerals. Its facilities include a commercial kitchen and dining room, bar and outdoor area, toilets and showers, public address/sound system, first aid room, and office.
Please contact the Association Manager – Reto Oswald for pricing and booking information. Phone 027 523 7878 Email: info@scshow.co.nz
The A&P show is one of Waimate’s major annual events and the committee looks forward to bringing you more excitement and entertainment on show day. Classes are wide-ranging; from horses, ponies, sheep, dog trials, poultry, and pet class; to the home industries section catering for arts, crafts, baking and floral for adults and children.
We extend a warm invitation to all exhibitors as well as the public. All the information you need to plan your exciting family day out is available in this website, and if you have any questions, please contact us and we will do our best to help.
