The Mackenzie A&P Highland Show is the largest one day Show in New Zealand with 12-15,000 through the gates. A fun family day out with something for everyone!

Annual competitions at the show include a New Zealand Kennel Club show, wood chopping, Mackenzie Shears (a Shearing Sports NZ competition) and a gift lamb competition. Other attractions this year include Li'l  Chuck - The One Man Skiffle Machine (sponsored by Fairlie Early Learners), Freestyle NZ Motocross—NZ’s #1 Professional FMX Team. Also the Mackenzie Shears, Wood Chopping, Celebrity Chef and Cooking Demonstrations (thanks to ARA), Highland Games (demo), NZ Kennel Club Show, Free Riding, Pedalmania, Cowboy Challenge (demos), Mackenzie Trail Challenge, Exhibition Dog Trial, Animal Tent, Vintage Machinery, Mackenzie Highland Pipe Band, Barwoods Entertainment stage, Fairlie Four Square lolly scramble, Grand Parade, shopping, food, animals and much, much more.

The Schedule of Classes for the 2019 Show is now available on our official website or by contacting the Secretary. Closing date for most entries is on March 15th but they don’t have to be finished until Show Day which gives you plenty of time to prepare your entries. Please consider entering as exhibits are an important part of the Show…with over 1000 classes, I’m pretty sure there is at least one class for everyone! Maybe one of these areas will catch your eye: home and farm produce, wine and homebrew, cooking, flowers, patchwork, needlework, art, crafts (card making, scrapbooking, jewellery, sculpture, carving, pottery), photography, dog trials, local pet dog (children), highland dancing, piping and solo drumming, alpacas, wearable arts, equestrian (from miniatures to draught), sheep, wool, cattle, goats or poultry (chickens, ducks and pigeons). Life-stylers, check out the Flock Sheep classes or enter your alpaca, goat, chicken or duck.

There are over 400 sites, shopping for everyone, men, women and children. If you are interested in booking a site, applications are available on our official website and are due on the 15th of March.

We have a couple more pages available for advertisements in our Programmes (out of the 7 total). The Programmes are given out free to everyone who enters the Show and are a great way to advertise your business and support the Mackenzie Show. Contact the Secretary for more info.

The Show Committee would like to extend an open invitation for Show helpers. This doesn’t mean you have to ‘join’ the Committee (though you are more than welcome to)…but with an ageing Committee, we can definitely use always use more helpers for setting up, taking down and on the day. Please, please consider putting your hand up and contacting me.

Lastly, we would like to thank all of our sponsors – the Show couldn’t run without you…in particular, thank you to our major sponsors- Alpine Energy, Barwoods, Des Segar Motors 2006 & Auto Trans, Fairlie Early Learners, Farmlands, Four Square Fairlie, Goldpine, Gordon Handy, Heiniger New Zealand Ltd, Lemacon Ltd, Mackenzie Supply Services, Mainland Wools, Makikihi Fries Chip Factory, Mighty Mix Dog Food, Peppers Bluewater Resort, Peter Walsh & Associates PGG Wrightson Wool Ltd, Pinewood Motels, Point Lumber, Rabobank, Ravensdown Fertiliser Co-Operative, South Canterbury Toyota, The Front Store Engineering Supplies/Andar
