Yes! The Canterbury City Show is completely free to attend. No tickets needed — just turn up.
🐕 Can I bring my dog?
Well-behaved dogs on leads are very welcome.
🚗 Where do I park?
The show is in the centre of Canterbury, well served by public transport. There's no dedicated event parking, but the city's public car parks are a short walk away. We'd encourage walking, cycling, or using the Park & Ride where possible.

Westgate Gardens is a flat, open green public space. We're working to make the show as accessible as possible — more details on accessibility provisions will follow closer to the event.
🕐 What time does it start?
