A special thank you to The Tannery for welcoming Miss Canterbury into your beautiful space for our Canterbury Costume photo shoot.

The Tannery is such an iconic part of Canterbury’s architecture, history and character, making it the perfect setting to celebrate the places, stories and connections that make our region home.

We’re so grateful to have been able to capture our finalists and their incredible costumes in such a special Canterbury landmark.

Thank you for being a part of Miss Canterbury 2026! ✨

One of our favourite parts of the Miss Canterbury 2026 Grand Finals is the Canterbury costume display.

Our finalists have poured so much time, creativity and heart into creating costumes that celebrate Canterbury and what makes it home to them.

We’ll be sharing a little sneak peek soon from their stunning shoot with Eternal Photography at The Tannery… ✨

Who’s excited to see them?! 👑
