You don’t need to be familiar with showjumping to enjoy the Winter Shows at Takapoto Estate. With free entry and a relaxed atmosphere, it’s the perfect way to experience the sport. Simply arrive, enjoy free parking, grab a coffee and treats from the café or bar, and explore what’s on offer - including two sand arenas showcasing a range of showjumping classes, and a Trade Village.

This is also a perfect family outing and if you’re new to Takapoto Estate, it’s a great way to check out what all of the fuss is about, including the beautiful backdrop and expansive manicured lawns.

If wine is your thing, make sure try the wines by Takapoto Estate at the bar.

If you’re serious about spectating, the best idea is to arrive before lunchtime. Classes kick off from around 8:30am, with the schedule running throughout the day. The showjumping could finish around mid-afternoon depending on number of entries.
