NZ RAS Royal Show

We’re pleased to announce that the Horowhenua AP&I Association will be hosting the Royal Agricultural and Pastoral Show of New Zealand in January 2024.

To kick off our Centenary Year with a bang, we’re heading to Horowhenua from 18-21 January 2024 to see the best of what the showing movement has to offer.

Hosted at the Levin Showgrounds, just an hour north of Wellington, the 2024 Show will showcase classes across all sections. From sheep and cattle, to equestrian and home industries, to wood chopping, shearing, trades and rides, there is something for everyone.

So make sure you mark your diaries now, and keep an eye out here and on the Horowhenua AP&I Association’s website for more!

NZ RAS Royal Events

Royal Events were introduced in 2001.  A Royal Event allows A&P Associations to promote and feature a specific section at their Show.  In some circumstances two sections may be allowed.  The RAS Supreme Champion Medal and red, white and blue ribbon is awarded to Supreme Champions in these sections.  In 2018 RAS Champion Medals and ribbons were also introduced.
