2022/2023
what’s on! HOME & GARDEN EVENTS
Whether we’re in the market to build, renovate, decorate or even reinvigorate our home and gardens, we’re in luck when it comes to expos, shows and festivals, including these events planned for the months ahead. Please note: due to the Covid-19 pandemic, some of these events may be postponed or cancelled. In addition, events listed for Auckland Showgrounds may be subject to a change of venue. Readers are advised to check events online for updates.
NZ GIFT & HOMEWARE FAIRS From August 28-30, Auckland Showgrounds, Green Lane West, Epsom Rather than concentrate on the homes we live in, these seasonal fairs put interior design to the fore. While the next event shines a spotlight on spring, these fairs are held seasonally, so there may well be more than one to attend in Auckland over the coming year. See www.giftfairs.co.nz for details.
THE AUCKLAND HOME SHOW September 7-11, Auckland Showgrounds, 217 Green Lane West, Epsom Including inner-city apartment dwellers, suburbanites and farmers and growers, Auckland’s inhabitants are a most diverse bunch when it comes to the places we live and the lifestyles we enjoy. With everything from seminars to product displays, new technology to age-old professions, The Auckland Home Show sees Aucklanders converge during this marquee event. For more information see www.aucklandhomeshow.co.nz.
MOTORHOME, CARAVAN & LEISURE SHOW September 23-25, Mystery Creek Events Centre, Ohaupo, Waikato Whether we travel by plane (a very short jaunt!), trains or automobiles, it’s a safe bet that those set on attending this expo are most familiar with the attraction of the open road. Intended for Kiwis who’d prefer to not let the grass grow under their feet, the Motorhome, Caravan & Leisure Show also features much that will likely appeal to home bodies too. See www.nzmotorhomeshow.co.nz for details.
WAIKATO HOME & GARDEN SHOW October 6-9, from 10am, Claudelands Events Centre, Cnr Brooklyn Rd and Heaphy Tce, Hamilton Some events may be closer to home, but the Waikato Home & Garden Show is one that’s well worth taking to the road to experience. While many of its smaller exhibitors may ply their trade across the Waikato only, this event attracts professionals with nationwide coverage, and inspiration is (of course!) universal.
