Gibbs Farm Sculpture Park Visit 2025

Gibbs Farm is a privately owned property open by appointment only with a one-of-a-kind open-air sculpture park. The Play it Strange Trust is privileged to hold a fundraiser day at Gibbs Farm and encourage you to witness this incredible place for yourself, whilst supporting Play it Strange and our young musical community.  There is no entry fee to visit Gibbs Farm - all money from these ticket sales will go directly to Play it Strange. We thank the Gibbs Farm Trustees and employees for their much-valued support.

Gibbs Farm rests on 400 hectares of re-formed farmland on the Kaipara Harbour, 47 kilometres north of Auckland. It contains the largest collection of large-scale outdoor sculptures by some of the world’s leading artists, commissioned and curated by Alan Gibbs over the past 30 years.

Join us for a rare opportunity to visit this private art collection on Gibbs Farm. You will see large scale sculptures that the artists have designed to fit with the landscape as well as some exotic animals including giraffes! On your visit you will be able to roam the farmland, to take in the views of the harbour and gain perspective of the sculptures from a distance and right up close. You can self-guide with the comprehensive guide provided It truly is a unique experience. Pack a picnic and come and take in the sculptures, animals and the stunning landscape they respond to and transform.

Be quick as tickets are strictly limited and sell quicker than hot cakes - be prepared to be wow-ed!!
