I have just been to the South Island to the Culverden Fête. This is a remarkable event organised by three intrepid farmer’s wives from North Canterbury. The standard of presentation is high and the organisation is slick. — Hester Guy, Manawatu Standard

A lavish day out with friends is a tonic for the soul. Come and enjoy the buzz and festivity of The Fête in its 22nd year!

New Zealand’s biggest and most popular Fête attracts people from every corner of New Zealand. With over 200 top-flight stalls you can treat yourself to a little designer happiness at the end of winter. Christmas shopping is a breeze in this fabulous atmosphere.

Take advantage of The Fête specials; original and individual creations provided by the stallholders and leave at the end of the day with purchases that you won’t have seen anywhere else. Savour the local food and wine while you enjoy the live entertainment and demonstrations in fantastic park-like surroundings.

Just 12kms from Culverden in the heartland of North Canterbury, “Wynyard”, a sheep, beef and dairy farm, provides spectacular views of the mountains and the Lowry Peaks Range. A unique shopping spree like no other.

There is no better way to discover the Amuri Basin than coming up to The Fête and immersing yourself in this unique and extraordinary day. The Fête is not to be missed; bring your friends and make it a day to remember!
