Annabel Langbein will be cooking new recipes LIVE at the Wanaka Show
Four hundred trade stalls, 265 horses, 50 Jack Russells, two Kiwi icons and one celebrity cook are gearing up for two enthralling days at the 80th Wanaka A&P Show, held this Friday and Saturday, March 10-11, at the Wanaka Showgrounds. For 80 years, the Wanaka Show has been the annual occasion that brings the Upper Clutha community - as well as the rest of the lower South - together. Wanaka Show coordinator Jane Stalker says the 80th anniversary is an important milestone for the event. “The Wanaka Show holds a special place in the hearts of locals so we really wanted to make the 80th anniversary event a true celebration,” she says.
Star attractions for this year’s Show include celebrity cook Annabel Langbein and Kiwi entertainers the Topp Twins. Children’s author and musician Craig Smith and the Wonky Donkey are also set to take the stage, and Adventure Consultants mountaineer Guy Cotter will be sharing his experiences of Mt Everest in a one-off talk on Friday at 2.30pm. The livestock and equestrian events will once again be a big drawcard with some of the country’s top horses, sheep and cattle competing. Two free park-and-ride shuttles will run from the reserved land across from the medical centre on Cardrona Valley Road to the Showgrounds every 15 minutes between 8.30am5pm. Show gates open 8am-5pm and tickets are $15 per adult for a one-day pass or $20 for a two-day pass. A youth pass (13-17 years) is $5 for both days, and children aged 12 and under are free. www.wanakashow.co.nz
