Eat, Drink, Be Social

Cafes, bars and hospitality at the sales

The world-renowned Sales Centre at Karaka and facilities at the Canterbury Agricultural Park provide the ideal backdrop for this February’s annual yearling harvest. Along with quality stock, it is the buying experience that sets us apart from our rivals. Delicious kiwi food from onsite cafes, cold beverages served in the bars, piping hot barista made coffee, and the exceptionally warm welcome buyers receive from respected vendors are just a few highlights of the hospitality on offer this summer.
