“Wedding On Show is a great opportunity to bring something light hearted and positive to the people of Canterbury. The competition was originally contrived as the ideal way for men to remember their anniversary with Showday this year falling on the 11th of the 11th 2011. What a great chance for couples to create a long-lasting memory that includes the 60,000+ visitors we usually see through the gates on a Friday” added Canterbury A&P Show Event Director Rae Finlay.

In conjunction with ‘Wedding On Show’, the Lifestyle & Leisure Pavilion at this year’s Canterbury A&P Show will include a special wedding section with exhibitors displaying ideas and insipration to help Show visitors plan their own special day.

The 2011 Canterbury A&P Show will be held Wednesday 9 to Friday 11 November at Canterbury Agricultural Park in Christchurch. It is the largest A&P Show in the country attracting over 100,000 people, close to 7000 livestock and feature competition entries and 600 trade exhibitors.
