Masterton A&P Show 2027: the traditional one-day show was retired in 2020

MICE editorial — 07 November 2026 Masterton Tier C

The Masterton A&P Association ran a one-day A&P show at the Solway Showgrounds for well over a century, but stepped away from that format in 2020; no traditional 2027 show has been confirmed.

The Masterton A&P Association (established 1885) staged a traditional one-day agricultural and pastoral show at the Solway Showgrounds for well over a century, reaching its 130th edition on 18 February 2017. In an August 2020 press release the association said the traditional one-day show format "had lost its appeal," and it has since focused on running Solway Showgrounds as an equestrian and events venue. No traditional Masterton A&P Show has been confirmed for 2027, so no date or programme is asserted here, although the association continues and an equestrian "Masterton A&P Showing" competition runs under the name.
