Venue Information
Napier (or Ahuriri in Māori) is a city on the eastern coast of the North Island of New Zealand and the seat of the Hawke's Bay region. It is a beachside city with a seaport, known for its sunny climate, esplanade lined with Norfolk pines, and extensive Art Deco architecture.
Napier was largely destroyed in an earthquake in 1931 and was rebuilt in the Art Deco style that was popular in the 1930’s. The city is now known as The Art Deco Capital of the World.
The Hawkes Bay region is recognised as one of New Zealand’s leading wine producing areas and the surrounding area is also a major horticultural producer.
