CANTERBURY CITY SHOW UPDATES · 12 JUNE 2026

25–26 July 2026 Westgate Gardens / Westgate Square / Toddler's Cove / The Guildhall Free entry. Two days. Four zones. One brilliant weekend.

One of the things people ask most is "who's actually there?" — so here's a look at who's trading, cooking, and running stalls this year.

The stallholder list is broad. Alongside makers you've heard about — Fox & Fern Florals, Kuch by G&G, Teetta's House of Choux, Elder Tree Gems, Agnes Arts and Crafts — there are newer names joining too. And there are community and charity stands dotted through the marketplace: Mothers' Union, GABz KANTAB with their culture zone and kids' games, and Doina Foundation in the Guildhall and on the grass.

On the food side: Fornace Neapolitan Pizza with their wood-fire van on Saturday, Plan Burrito in Westgate Square across the whole weekend, and the Horsebox Bar back at Toddler's Cove both days. Not a food festival — but you won't go hungry.

The full stallholder and food trader list lives at the website, updated as more confirm: canterburycityshow.co.uk.

Three more partners

Each edition we put a few of the names behind the Show in front of you.

Kent County Council are backing the Show through members grants from Cllr Nolan and Cllr Brady, and through their traffic management team. It says something that the county authority, not just a corporate sponsor, is putting resource into a community weekend.

Omicron Repro are one of those Canterbury businesses you might not have come across unless you've needed printing, reprographics, or signage at scale. They've been doing it quietly for years. Now they're Silver sponsors and you’ll see something printed by them at the show for sure!

Mayah's Legacy works with families affected by baby loss. They're a Silver partner and will be at the Show.

Did you know?

The Show is on the Canterbury Community Lottery. For a pound a week you back the Show and go into the draw for a £25,000 weekly jackpot. 78.2p of every pound goes to good causes and prizes. So far the Show's raised £338 toward a £3,900 target — 13 of 150 tickets sold, still early.

There's also a Super Draw running until 27 June: a £1,000 Last-Minute Getaway. Worth a look if you were going to enter anyway.

Who's new

Roouh brings homeware and gifts to the main gardens — one of those stalls where you go in for a look and come out with something for someone who doesn't need anything.

GABz KANTAB aren't new to Canterbury but they're new to the Show. They're running their afro culture zone with kids' games and DJs at Toddler's Cove on the Saturday.

And if you're coming for the food: Fornace Neapolitan Pizza are doing wood-fire pizzas on Saturday, Plan Burrito are in Westgate Square all weekend, and the Horsebox Bar is back at Toddler's Cove with drinks both days.
