Hawke's Bay Show
Today, the Hawke’s Bay A&P Society are extremely pleased and excited to announce that the A&P Show hosted in Hastings will be going ahead in October 2020.
The Covid crisis nearly threatened the event proceeding, but with support from local and central government, alongside the Societies family of sponsors and volunteers, who are the backbone of the organisation, we have the confidence to proceed, albeit with changes to both the Society and the event.
The biggest change is that the Royal status of the Show will be placed on hold for a year with the RAS’s blessing, and the three-day scheduled will be reduced to two days.
We are excited to announce the Show will go on!
Thursday 22 - Friday 23 October 2020
Key dates for you to note:
Competition Entries Open - 1 August 2020
Competition Entries Close - 30 September 2020
Show Days - 22/23 October 2020
