Welcoming approximately 30,000 visitors through the gates, the Hawke’s Bay A&P Show, hosted at the Tomoana Showgrounds, is a massive event that truly brings rural life to the city like no other event can.
Some of the country’s best and most prestigious livestock and equestrian events pack a three-day schedule accompanied by a huge amount of fun filled family entertainment.
We proudly promote and celebrate the agriculture, food and fibre sector by developing and supporting events that strengthen the Hawke’s Bay community.
The Society's constitution aims “To bring town and country together” and this rings as true now as it did when it was first created over 150 years ago. We love promoting our primary sector to a wide audience, facilitating events, acknowledging our history and heritage, developing educational programmes, awarding scholarships and celebrating excellence in all its forms so that our sector and region can continue to develop, grow and prosper.
