The Manawatū A&P Show is returning to town.

The Manawatū A&P Show is returning to town.

The 132nd annual Manawatū A&P Show will be held on Saturday November 3 at Manfeild Park in Feilding.

With a huge line up of activities for the whole family, this year's show is going to be a great event for all ages. Bring the family and the kids can play in the wool pit and interact with baby animals in Farm World.

Horse showing and jumping will be in action all day, along with an alpaca 'colourbration' show and sheep section extravaganza featuring a large display of all things wool.

The show is more than just animals though. Take a ride on the Barrel Train or Clydesdale-drawn Apiti Mail Coach; shop through the trade stands and top the day off with some candy floss and a hot dog. Watch the hard-working boys and girls show strength and determination in the farrier and shearing competitions, and a new highlight this year — the strongman display.

Add in the amusement rides, vintage machinery and other interactive demonstrations and you won't want to go home. To top the day off there will be an evening concert featuring Dennis Marsh until 7pm.
