Easter Sunday, 20th April 2025
You’ll find all your old favourites from a massive range of stalls selling food, crafts and other goods, fairground rides, bouncy castles, a petting zoo, pony rides and more.
From small beginning’s this has become Nelson Tasman region’s largest fair with over 10,000 visitors each year. The fair is the key annual fundraiser for Mapua Primary School and Mapua Playcentre and is run entirely by volunteers, overseen by the Mapua Easter Fair Charitable Trust.
Most years the fair has over 220 stallholders, made up of arts, crafts, garden, fairground and miscellaneous stalls, a school run café, second hand store and silent auction. In addition, the Playcentre opens its gates to provide a space for younger children to play and families to relax. We offer a full day of free entertainment on stage and other free activities. It’s a great day out catering for all ages.
We will have four recycling stations placed around the fair. Everyone is
encouraged to BYO coffee cup to use at the coffee vendors, BYO water bottle to refill and
BYO bags to carry all those goodies home from the white elephant and other stalls!
It will be a busy day around the village. A free bus shuttle will run from Māpua School and our Seaton Valley Car Parks. Check out options closer to the time.
