The 89th Motueka A&P Show is set for the first weekend of December 2026 at Marchwood Park, organised by the Motueka A&P Association.
The Motueka A&P Show is the Tasman district's long-running agricultural and pastoral show, held each December at Marchwood Park in Motueka. The 2025 edition was the 88th show, placing the 2026 event at the 89th. It is scheduled across the first weekend of December, with the listed 2026 start of Saturday 5 December matching the association's established Saturday–Sunday pattern.
The show is organised by the Motueka A & P Association, the local A&P body that controls the event and publishes its competition schedules. Entries for the horse, in-hand and other competitive sections are handled online through the EvoEvents / EquestrianEntries platform rather than a dedicated show website, according to the association's own 2025 schedules.
As a traditional A&P show it serves the wider Motueka and Tasman farming and lifestyle community alongside day-visitor families, combining competitive agricultural and equestrian classes with the general show-day offering typical of New Zealand's regional A&P calendar. The documented competitive programme spans ridden equestrian and in-hand classes, with the broader livestock, produce and home-industry sections characteristic of a district show.
The show is staged at Marchwood Park in Motueka, confirmed as the venue in the association's official schedules; a precise street address is not published in the sourced material. Motueka sits roughly 50 minutes' drive west of Nelson, and the show draws primarily on the surrounding Tasman catchment, so most attendance is regional and day-based. Visitors travelling from Nelson city or further afield rely on the town's own accommodation and the state highway network into Motueka, as the event itself is a single-venue community show rather than a multi-day destination fixture.
With an unbroken run approaching nine decades, the Motueka A&P Show is an anchor event in the Tasman rural calendar and a continuing showcase for the region's agriculture, horticulture and equestrian community.
