Wellness features on A&P programme

The Warkworth A&P Lifestyle Show will feature a new Wellness Centre showcasing a wide variety of treatments to improve the wellbeing of both people and animals.

Warkworth A&P Society secretary Penny Webster says the idea is to reposition the A&P show into more of a lifestyle show to reflect Warkworth’s changing demographic.

However, she promises the traditional elements that make for a great A&P Show will still be there, including the showing of cattle, shearing demonstrations and woodchopping.

Food and wine tasting, and vintage cars will also be among the attractions.

Meanwhile, the new Wellness Centre will feature talks and demonstrations on BodyTalk osteopathy, bioptron light, massage, iridology, energy healing and essential oils.  

There will be oils, soaps and teas to try for humans and natural chews, raw food and supplements for animals.

Wellness Centre coordinator Linda Shaw says Rodney is rich with people and services designed to support the health and wellbeing of local residents – both human and animal.

“Every day people work hard to stay healthy and it’s good to know your options when you do need help.   At the Wellness Centre you will get to see and hear about what’s on your doorstep,” she says.

Comedian, television personality and A&P enthusiast Te Radar will return as guest judge and roving compere.

The Warkworth A&P Show will be held at Warkworth Showgrounds on Auckland Anniversary Weekend, Saturday, January 27.
