Welcome to Stratford A&P - Home of the Stratford Show

The Royal Agricultural & Pastoral Show of New Zealand is heading to Stratford!

 

The Royal Agricultural & Pastoral Show of New Zealand is back in 2025, and we’re headed to the Stratford District with a celebration of rural excellence.

 

The Royal Agricultural & Pastoral Show of New Zealand is the pre-eminent event of the showing calendar and provides the opportunity for exhibitors and competitors from across the country to compete at the national level.

 

“We’re excited to see the Royal Agricultural & Pastoral Show of New Zealand return again in 2025,” says Rachel Walker, President of the Royal Agricultural Society of New Zealand.

“From cattle to sheep, alpacas, donkeys, pigs and equestrian sections, to shearing, home industries and wood chopping, the 2025 Royal Agricultural Show of New Zealand has something for everyone, says Rachel. “And that’s just the beginning of what will be on show for the three-day event from 28-30 November 2025.”

 

With 64 Breed and Kindred Societies representing many more, the Royal Agricultural & Pastoral Show of New Zealand will have a range of animals on show.

 

Paul Vanner, President of the Stratford A&P Association says …

"It is an honour and a privilege to work in partnership with the Royal Agricultural Society to host a Royal Show at Stratford A&P Show 2025, being held weekend of 28-30 November 2025.

 

This is a unique opportunity to fully explore and capture the royal status of Agricultural and Pastoral to enhance our all-encompassing event that includes livestock, trade exhibits and entertainment for our community."

 

There will also be several trade spaces where local and national farm equipment suppliers can show off the latest in their technology, as well as the ability to sample and buy some of the best local foods and crafts.
