Auckland Home Show without a home as showgrounds shut

From Checkpoint, 5:35 pm on 9 August 2022

The Auckland Home Show does not have a roof over its own head right now. The event with more than 400 exhibitors usually happens at the Auckland Showgrounds but an ongoing legal wrangle over the future of the venue means the show, which has been running for more than 40 years, has had to be postponed.

Meanwhile the Showgrounds sit empty. Amanda Magnus is general manager of Exhibitions and Events NZ - that organises the Home Show.
