Events Calendar
This calendar is for event planning purposes only and is subject to change.
To use, click the Add Event button below. You’ll be prompted to add the name, venue, date and time of your event, along with your contact name and number.
If there is another event on locally on the same date as yours, consider getting in touch and liaising with the event organiser, as there may be an opportunity to collectively market your events and/or to share costs. Only add public, ticketed and/or community events to this calendar.
When considering which date to hold your event, bear in mind that accommodation throughout the Wairarapa is booked well in advance, so we would recommend that you research accommodation options for your event in the early stages of planning (see Accommodation). It would be well worth contacting the team at i-SITE Visitor Information Centre, to assist with accommodation, in particular for larger events.
As a guide to local events, below the calendar you’ll find a list of annual/regular events in the Wairarapa region.
Once your event is in the calendar, if there are changes to be made, such as a cancellation or date change, please contact the administrator here.
