The much-loved Women’s Lifestyle Expo is coming to Tauranga next weekend, bringing together close to 130 of the finest lifestyle brands under one roof at Mount Maunganui’s Mercury Baypark.

Taking place on Saturday, September 21, and Sunday, September 22, the event promises an array of offerings from unique artisanal goods perfect for gifting, to luxurious pampering products and the latest eco-friendly essentials.

Emily Travers, Head of Events at NZME, says "We're absolutely thrilled to bring our Women's Lifestyle Expo series to Tauranga next weekend. It's a fantastic showcase of the incredible diversity and creativity of businesses in New Zealand, from our celebrated Kiwi brands to the well-known international names.

“The expo aims to connect remarkable Kiwi companies offering something unique to women of all ages and stages in life, making it the perfect occasion for a girls' day out or to indulge in a leisurely day discovering delights at every turn,” says Travers.

This year’s line-up includes newcomers like MiniCrochet (unique handcrafted jewellery), Crafty Chook Candles and Solo Kiwi Ventures (tours and retreats for women 40+), alongside established favourites such as Blush Gin, Lorna Jane activewear and Yompai (handmade wooden kitchenware).

The Artisan Zone remains a fan favourite, spotlighting New Zealand’s finest crafters with exclusive items ranging from organic beauty products and jewellery to art, home decor, and fashion.

Brands like Vamp Nail & Beauty and The Treatment Clinic offer products and treatments for those much-needed pampering sessions, while the Taste Zone serves up delicious refreshments, gourmet bites, and tasty treats to keep attendees energised throughout the expo.

Expo visitors can also enter to win an incredible trip for two to Fiji including a 7-night cruise, thanks to World Travellers, Fiji Airways and Blue Lagoon Cruises.
