Kumeu District Agricultural Horticultural Society

About Us

Welcome to Kumeu Showgrounds, the premier venue for all your event needs. With our expansive 34-hectare showgrounds, located just 20km outside Auckland CBD in the beautiful suburb of Kumeu, we offer the perfect setting for a wide range of events.

As the proud hosts of the annual Kumeu Show, one of the largest A&P Shows in the area, we have a rich history dating back to 1921. Our society, the Kumeu District Agricultural Horticultural Society (KAHS), was established with the aim of promoting horticultural growing and animal breeding activities in the Kumeu district.

Over the years, we have grown from strength to strength, acquiring a 17-hectare farm near Kumeu railway station, followed by a neighboring 17 hectares to form a working farm. Today, our showgrounds are a hub of community activities, offering a vibrant space for exhibitions, trade shows, concerts, and more.
