🚙 Main Show Sponsor Spotlight – Motorworld 🚙

Motorworld has been a valued Main Show Sponsor of the Marlborough A&P Show for many years, providing generous ongoing support to our Show and the wider Marlborough community.

For more than 120 years, Motorworld has been a trusted name in Marlborough motoring, offering a wide range of new and used vehicles, along with servicing, WOFs, parts, repairs and other automotive services.

This year, Motorworld has once again provided us with a Suzuki NZ Jimny to help promote the Show around Marlborough - so keep an eye out for us on the road! We’re incredibly grateful for this support and the difference it makes in the lead-up to Show Day.

A huge thank you to Jared Morris and the entire Motorworld team for their longstanding partnership and continued commitment to the Marlborough A&P Show!

🐴 Equestrian Exhibitors – Important Update

Unfortunately, due to Health & Safety requirements, we are unable to offer overnight camping or stables/yards at the Marlborough A&P Show this year.

With Guy Fawkes falling very close to Show Day, and a large number of residential properties surrounding the Showgrounds, the potential for fireworks and the impact this may have on horses has also been an important consideration in making this decision.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause our exhibitors and appreciate your understanding.

For those needing somewhere to stay with their horses, we highly recommend Marlborough Equestrian Park, who offer outstanding facilities and are a great option for our visiting competitors.

We look forward to welcoming you to the 2026 Marlborough A&P Show! 🐴🌿
