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 single venue open to the public. The exhibits will include; Historic, classic and modern arms, militaria, medals & insignia, sporting arms, books & memorabilia, edged weapons, ammunition, cartridge collections, outdoor equipment and sporting & enthusiast groups. Many of the items will also be on sale by specialist traders.

The Arms Fair is a great day out for families and those looking to add something to their collection. For younger enthusiasts who have seen something interesting online or TV, come to the fair and see the real thing up close. Most of the exhibitors will be 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 spacious, climate-controlled venue with plenty of parking nearby and handy to the cafes of George Street and the Square.
