During your stay with us at Alpha Holiday Park and Apartments, spend some time at one of Whangarei’s exciting events. From family fun, to concerts, sports events, festivals and markets, there’s always something to see or do in Whangarei.
Northland Field Days
The Northland Field Days is the largest event of its kind to be held in Northland, and it is the second largest agricultural event in New Zealand. We attract over 550 exhibitors and host in excess of 25,000 visitors who attend the event during the three days.
Our exhibitors and visitors travel from all over New Zealand with an increasing number of international companies exhibiting. It is an event that provides the opportunity to gain exposure and increase revenue for exhibitors who have the opportunity to talk to their customers direct and the repeat site bookings is evidence of the positive outcome. Due to the high demand for site bookings, with many of our exhibitors expressing an interest in booking for the following year, resulting in the Committee having to regularly increase the number of sites available to meet the high demand.
Our site charges continue to remain very competitive to similar events. It is our policy to keep costs of other requirements such as programme advertising and gate entry passes separate, as prices remain relevant to each exhibitor's specific requirements.
