Gibbs Farm Visit

The Helensville A&P Association is excited to offer a visit to Gibbs Farm as a fundraiser for the 2024
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 25 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. 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.

Gibbs Farm is a private property open by appointment only on scheduled monthly visitor days as per the Gibbs Farm website. It is important you read the terms of access at  bookings.gibbsfarm.org.nz/media/terms%20of%20access.pdf  

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 120th Helensville A&P Show on 24th February 2024. We thank the Gibbs Farm Trustees and employees for their much valued support.
