Visitor information for the Tauranga Food Show

When and where is the next Tauranga Food Show?

The next Tauranga Food Show takes place on the 26th & 27th August 2023 at Trustpower Arena Baypark, 81 Truman Lane in Mount Maunganui.

When do the doors open and close?

The doors open to the public at 10am, and close at 5pm.

How much are tickets and where can I buy them?

Tickets are:
$15 for adults
$10 for seniors who present a Gold Card
$5 for children 13 and under

Tickets are sold at the door only (no presales). The ticket booth is located in the foyer of the Arena.

Cash and Eftpos are accepted - sorry, no credit.

Who is exhibiting at the Tauranga Food Show?

We're working on our 2023 exhibitor lineup which will be published closer to the show.

Where do I park?

Parking is free, and there's heaps of it! We have parking attendants on hand to show you where to go.

When is the best time to come?

It's certainly busier in the mornings until about 1pm - if you want to avoid a crowd, we recommend that you come in the afternoon. Sunday is a little quieter than Saturday.

Who will be featured in the Live Cooking Kitchen?

Unlike other shows, attendance to the Live Cooking Kitchen is included in your entry ticket.

We're working on our 2023 lineup where we'll be featuring chefs from restaurants and cafes around the Bay of Plenty - we like to keep it local!

Is there anywhere to sit down and eat?

There are food trucks located just outside the doors along the back wall of the show with plenty of seating available. Sit down. Relax! Have a tasty bite to eat.

Is there a parcel minding service?

There is a parcel minding service at the Info Desk, and it's totally free!

Just bring us your stuff and we'll look after it. We promise we won't taste it, no matter how tempting.

Is the show suitable for children?

You can absolutely bring children, just keep in mind that the Tauranga Food Show is a pretty busy setting so it can be cumbersome getting around with a pushchair.

Are there ATM facilities available?

Almost all exhibitors have Eftpos facilities on their stands, and we also provide a cash out facility near the Info Desk.

Is there internet or Wi-Fi available?

There is public Wi-Fi available at Trustpower Arena Baypark. It's free, and you don't need a password.

Are there wheelchairs available?

Yes. Ask at the Info Desk - there's a limited number available, so it can be helpful to book them in advance by giving us a call on 07 576 0513.

I've never heard of the Tauranga Food Show before. Is it new?

The Tauranga Food Show is the new name for the Seriously Good Food Show - so 2023 will be our huge tenth anniversary celebration show!

Why did we change the name? Because we're local, we're passionate about bringing New Zealand's best food to the Bay of Plenty, and we're getting a little less serious!

Who organises the Tauranga Food Show? Do you do other shows?

The Tauranga Food Show is organised by Bay Events Ltd.

We are also the organisers of the Tauranga Home Show and the Bay of Plenty Home Show.

I've received an email saying I can buy your attendees list.

That email is a scam and is not associated with the Tauranga Food Show or Bay Events. We do not sell or share our email lists.

These scammers don't have the information they're attempting to sell. Do not engage! Run away!

I'm interested in exhibiting. Who can I talk to?

Give us a call and we'll talk you through how you can book in!
