Helensville A&P Show CANCELLED
Neighbours - it is with a heavy heart that we have to announce that this year's Helensville Show has been cancelled. The show grounds have been thoroughly saturated by the heavy rain and there is more forecast to come. We cannot in good conscience ask our sponsors, competitors, tradespeople, food vendors and the public to deal with the extreme deterioration of the grounds if the show went ahead. We're heartbroken.
We understand the disappointment that this will cause in our community.
For those that have entered the show - please visit our website for information about refunds. We thank you for your patience and understanding as we put this process in place.
Thank you for your support through this difficult time. We look forward to putting on a sunny, spectacular show next year.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
