New Plymouth Women’s Lifestyle Expo to showcase products fr…

A popular shopping and lifestyle event for women is back in Taranaki this September.

The New Plymouth Women’s Lifestyle Expo will bring together 120 of the best lifestyle companies under one roof at the TSB Stadium.

The range of exhibitors means there is something to suit every taste, say organisers, with artisan goods and gifts, eco-friendly essentials, pamper and beauty products all featured.

The expo features the best of local companies alongside a number of national companies who will travel to New Plymouth specifically for the event, taking the opportunity to show off their products to the Taranaki market.

Renee Murray, NZME event director, says the expo makes for a perfect girls’ day out, with attendees able to enjoy leisurely wandering between exhibitors, tasting, trying, smelling and seeing the various products for themselves.

“It’s been incredible seeing our communities coming together to support local. We are so pleased to be able to provide an opportunity for Kiwi businesses and local Taranaki companies to connect with thousands of women.”

Renee says she is confident people will find plenty to love amongst the stalls this year, with some great new businesses featured alongside annual favourites.

“We have some incredible companies exhibiting this year, from young entrepreneurs to larger well-known brands. There are some amazing new businesses like Dust & Glow, a sustainable beauty brand who offer powder-based beauty solutions from shampoo to cleansers, The Book Shoppe, a book subscription giftbox, and Sweat Sisters & Co, New Zealand’s home of activewear that celebrates body positivity and self-confidence.”

The expo includes an Artisan Zone, which will include artisan crafters from all over New Zealand with unique products including soaps and organic beauty goods, jewellery, original art, home decor, clothing and more.

Appreciating that shopping, pampering, trying and testing can be hard work, Renee says the expo Taste Zone (a mini food show) will be on hand to offer pick-me-ups, tasty treats and bites to keep shoppers going.

There they will be able to sample an array of gourmet food and beverages with everything from gin and vodka to gourmet meat products, boutique condiments, dairy-free cheese, gourmet cookies, limoncello, liqueurs, cocktail garnishes and so much more, giving them the chance to try before buying what they love to take away and enjoy at home.
