There are still Function tickets available for the AgFest Function on Friday night on site, these are $40 plus GST, Food, Drink and entertainment provided – email us at [email protected] if you and your friends/colleagues would like to attend and we can arrange tickets. (Please note this is open to all you don’t have to be an exhibitor to attend).

6) AgFest Programme

The AgFest Programme goes out a week ahead of the event and is delivered to the 15000 households from Karamea to Haast and handed out at the gate to event goers, I’m sure you’ll understand the broad reach of this circulation, making the programme an invaluable marketing tool for exhibitors.

If you’d like to have placement in the AgFest programme, click here for pricing (Advertisement Prices – Agfest West Coast).

If you’ve already booked your site and would now like to place an advertisement in the programme please email us at [email protected]

7) Corporate Hosting
If you are planning on corporate hosting and providing alcohol to clients on your site we require you to fill in an alcohol declaration form on arrival – this will be done while you’re signing in at the AgFest I-site

Each site serving alcohol will need a designated person on site who is responsible for all alcohol consumption – drunken behaviour will not be tolerated and intoxicated people will be escorted from the event – THIS WILL BE STRICTLY ENFORCED.
