Hororata Mechanical Swap Meet

The Hororātā Mechanical Swap Meet returns to the Hororātā Domain in Waikirikiri Selwyn for a full day celebrating engines, ingenuity, and hands-on history. This much-loved event attracts collectors, restorers, and tinkerers from across New Zealand, all chasing quality mechanical parts and good conversation. Expect a packed domain filled with vintage car and motorbike parts, tools, machinery, and mechanical treasures – if it’s built for horsepower and hard work, you’ll find it here. There’s no bric-a-brac, just the real deal.

The popular Show n Shine is back, welcoming everything from barn finds and restored classics to modern machines and custom bikes. No registration required – simply arrive and pay at the gate. Bikers are especially encouraged to roll in and display their pride and joy.

Fuel up with local favourites including the famous Hororātā pies and bacon butties. Run rain or shine, this community event supports local schools, heritage, and community projects.
