Helensville Show GIBBS FARM VISIT

The Helensville A&P Association is excited to offer a visit to Gibbs Farm as a fundraiser for the 2025 Helensville Show.

Gibbs Farm rests on 400 hectares of re-formed farmland on the Kaipara Harbour. The privately owned park is home to an internationally renowned collection of large-scale sculptures by some of the world’s leading artists, commissioned and curated by Alan Gibbs over the past 26 years.

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 and look out for the exotic animals!

Pack a picnic and come and take in the sculptures, animals and the stunning landscape they respond to and transform.

A reasonable level of fitness is required and a visit generally takes 2-3 hours. In that time you can expect to walk 6-7km, over rolling farmland and a paved roadway, with time to enjoy your picnic and see every wonderful thing. Please be aware there are large lakes and ponds and various animals at several locations on the property.  With our changeable weather, don't forget a coat, hat, sunblock if hot etc, so you are comfortable on the day. The grass will probably be wet in the morning so boots or sensible shoes are advised.

Ticket numbers are limited and bookings are essential. Tickets are non-transferable and non-refundable.

Gibbs Farm is a private property open by appointment only.  It is important you read the terms of access at https://tinyurl.com/gibbsfarmt...

There is no entry fee to visit Gibbs Farm - all money from these ticket sales will go to the Helensville A&P Association to help fund the 121st Helensville A&P Show on 22nd February 2025. We thank the Gibbs Farm Trustees and employees for their much valued support.
