We got close. Very close. But unfortunately we have had to make the hugely disappointing decision to cancel this year's event. The weather this week and the ongoing forecasts have meant we are unable to setup and provide a safe event for the thousands of people who had booked to come and enjoy ANBC again. We are so sorry we are not able to put on the show we had planned, it would have been an incredible event. But - we'll be back!

Ticket holders - please check your emails for the information circulated.

Our warmest wishes to you all for a safe, joyous and hopefully dry Christmas!

We are not sure we have the words to properly thank the team at G.J. Gardner Homes Tauranga. They are superstar supporters of ANBC, and are once again major sponsors of this year's event. They endlessly support the Tauranga community and help out a variety of charities and organisations. Having built over 1,000 homes in Tauranga, their ethos is all about locals building for locals. We are thrilled they are helping us build back ANBC after Covid, and if you're looking for a spot of building yourself, go and have a chat with the friendly team at G.J. Gardner Homes NZ Tauranga!

HUGE thanks to another of our major sponsors, Pak'nSave Papamoa! The team have been fantastic supporters of A Night Before Christmas over the years, and we are stoked to have them back with us.
