The Hawke's Bay Home & Garden Show 2026 runs 28–30 August at McLean Park, Napier, gathering more than 190 home, garden and lifestyle exhibitors. It is organised by Jade Promotions & Events Ltd, which has run home shows across New Zealand since 1990.
The Hawke's Bay Home & Garden Show returns to Napier from Friday 28 to Sunday 30 August 2026, staged at McLean Park. Billed as "turning houses into homes for over 30 years", the three-day consumer and trade exhibition brings together more than 190 exhibitors showcasing ideas, products, innovations and expert advice across home, garden and lifestyle. Opening hours are 10am to 5pm on Friday and Saturday and 10am to 4pm on Sunday, with door sales available.
The show is organised by Jade Promotions & Events Ltd, a New Zealand family-owned and operated company that has been bringing exhibitors and visitors together since 1990. Led by owners Josh and Emily Shanley and Hamish and Tim McBeth, the company describes itself as running the nation's largest home show network, delivering 13 events across the country in 2025 from Auckland to Otago under its two brands, the Home and Garden Show and the Better Home and Living Show. The Napier show sits within that national circuit, which also includes editions in Wellington, Nelson, Taupo, Rotorua, Taranaki, South Canterbury, Otago and Queenstown Lakes.
The event is a public-facing consumer and trade exhibition open to all ages. It is aimed at homeowners, renovators, gardeners and lifestyle shoppers looking for ideas and suppliers in one location, and at the exhibiting businesses that use the show to reach that regional audience. Peak visitor times are typically between 11am and 2pm.
McLean Park on Latham Street is Napier's principal sports and events ground, best known as a cricket and rugby venue, and its facilities also host large-scale exhibitions such as this one. The venue's own listings, alongside Hawke's Bay Tourism and Napier City Council, confirm the show is held there. Free parking is available on site. McLean Park sits within Napier's urban area, close to the city centre and its accommodation, and roughly a 15-minute drive from Hawke's Bay Airport at Napier, which carries domestic services connecting the region to Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch.
As one stop on New Zealand's largest home show circuit, the Hawke's Bay Home & Garden Show is an established recurring fixture that draws exhibitors and visitors into Napier over a late-winter weekend. For the regional business-events sector it demonstrates McLean Park's role as a multi-purpose venue capable of hosting large trade and consumer exhibitions, and it reflects the steady demand that keeps professionally managed expos returning to Hawke's Bay year after year.
