This is the annual public show of the Ruahine Branch of NZ Antique and Historical Arms Association, held every year at the PN Conference and Function Centre.

The Arms Fair hosts private collectors and traders from throughout NZ in a single venue open to the public. The exhibits will include ; Historic and modern arms, militaria, medals and insignia, sporting arms, books and memorabilia, edged weapons, ammunition, cartridge collections, outdoor equipment and sporting groups. Many of the items will also be on sale by specialist traders.

The Fair is a great day out for families or those looking to add something to their collection. For the younger enthusiasts who have seen something interesting on TV, come to the Arms Fair and see the real thing up close. Most of the exhibitors are happy for you to take photos, but please ask first.

It's also a great opportunity to have one of our experts identify or appraise an item that you own. Please contact the reception desk in the foyer before taking any items into the main exhibition hall.

The Conference and Function Centre is a fantastic, climate-controlled venue with plenty of parking nearby and handy to the cafes of George St. and the Square.
