Gore Show - 1925


Gore is a thriving, attractive town, sitting picturesquely on the banks of the famous Mataura River, which wends its way through some of New Zealand's most attractive and productive farmland.
From the late 1850s, settlers came to the area and began transforming the land into what we see today. As in other heartland areas, our local show has celebrated our connection to the land. The show is now approaching its 129th year.

The Gore Agricultural & Pastoral Showgrounds are located in Bury St, just off State Highway 1 at the south end of Gore. They are situated in a parklike setting on 11.2 hectares of land. They are in close proximity to the Gore Town & Country Club, Gore Multi-sports Centre, all-weather hockey turf and the town centre.
It is only a short drive to the Gore Golf Club, Pioneer Park, Eastern Southland Art Gallery and the Hokonui Moonshine Museum.

The grounds consist of multiple playing fields, Ram Selling Pavilion, Hokonui Pavilion, storage sheds, a softball diamond, main ring, grandstand, supporting buildings and sealed areas.
These areas are used to host a wide range of events throughout the year.
