Get out with the family and enjoy a day cuddling some adorable animals.

This Canterbury Anniversary Day, the New Zealand Agricultural Show is bringing a little of the rural to the city. The annual A&P show is cancelled for the first time since World War II, so the organisers are running this special City Farmyard event at Gloucester Green on Friday, November 13.

The City Farmyard is a great opportunity for kids and adults to get up close to lambs, calves, bunnies, ducklings, chickens, and more. With live music, tasty food trucks, sweet treats, and a low and slow BBQ pop-up from The Smokin’ Que crew, this event promises to be an enjoyable afternoon for the whole family. Tickets to the City Farmyard must be pre-purchased online to make sure the animals have a good time and don't get too crowded. There will also be pony rides, a merry-go-round and other family-friendly activities on offer to non-ticket holders. Don’t miss a fun country day out, without having to leave the city.
