Take a trip down memory lane, or see something you’ve never set your eyes on before at the 2025 Tauranga Militaria Show this Saturday, March 22, and Sunday, March 23.

Show organiser Dave Cross said there will be exhibits that will excite budding or long-standing collectors alike – or anyone with an interest in historical military pieces.

“There’ll be all sorts there! There’ll be stuff for the likes of militaria collectors, those who are into sporting firearms, knives. Then there’s medals, swords, bayonets and much more!”

If you’re new to collecting or interested in getting started, there will be plenty of people to have a chat to – including dealers and people who have been collecting for years, said Cross.

“Bring along your own items of interest too. You can have it appraised or sell it on.”

The Tauranga Militaria Show is in Greerton Hall from 9am-4pm on Saturday, March 22, and 10am-3pm on Sunday, March 23. Entry is $10 each, and children under-12 can enter for free but they must be accompanied by an adult.
