Waiau A&P Show 2027: a Western Southland community show, date to be confirmed

MICE editorial — 07 November 2026 Western Southland Tier C

The Waiau A&P Show is a long-running Western Southland community show held at the Tuatapere Domain (per RNZ); its 2027 date was unconfirmed, and the directory's North Canterbury venue appears to be a location error.

The Waiau A&P Show is a long-running community agricultural and pastoral show in Western Southland. RNZ's Country Life reports it is held at the Tuatapere Domain, where the rugby ground hosts the equestrian events, and that the most recent edition was its 85th. The 2027 date had not been published at the time of writing. (The directory's listing of a North Canterbury "Waiau Showgrounds" venue appears to be a location error — the North Canterbury township of Waiau is served instead by the separate Amuri A&P Show at Rotherham.)
