Clareville: Sports, Equestrian Activities and Spring Show

Clareville offers a range of reasons to visit: sports facilities at Clareville Complex, equestrian activities, and the Wairarapa A&P Show, held every spring. There is also a bakery and the landscaped grounds of Clareville Campground. Depending on whether you are interested in sports, the agricultural show or a break in the greenery, you can give your plans a different focus.

Sports and Equestrian Activities in Clareville

Clareville Complex has national-standard all-weather hockey fields, as well as badminton and tennis courts. It also has a competition-level cross-country equestrian course. The various facilities cater to different sporting interests. If you have a specific activity in mind, check the current programme at Clareville Complex.

Spring Show and Pony Club Rallies

The Wairarapa A&P Show takes place every spring at the Clareville Showgrounds in Carterton. It is a traditional agricultural show. The Wairarapa A&P Showgrounds cover 85 acres of landscaped grounds. If you are visiting for the show, include the seasonal period and specific event dates in your plans; check the dates before booking.

Another equestrian highlight is the Wairarapa Pony Club’s rallies at the Clareville A&P Showgrounds in Carterton. Visitors can attend the club rallies if they contact the Head Coach beforehand. As the club holds rallies at several locations, confirm when you get in touch whether the rally you want to attend is taking place in Clareville. This means that the cross-country course at Clareville Complex and a Pony Club rally require different planning: for a rally, the specific location and prior contact are important.

Getting Around, the Bakery and the Campground

A bus stop at the intersection of Chester Road and State Highway 2 is within walking distance of Clareville Showgrounds Complex. If you plan to use the stop for your journey, check the relevant timetable.

Clareville Bakery uses fresh ingredients and traditional craftsmanship to make its baked goods. It is open Monday to Saturday from 7:30 am to 2:00 pm and closed on Sundays. Check the opening hours before your visit.

Clareville Campground offers sites with and without power connections. Its landscaped grounds include an ornamental pond, ducks and a picnic area. If you are interested in a site, confirm availability before you arrive.

Find a Holiday Rental to Suit Your Trip

When looking for a holiday rental in Clareville, it helps to consider the reason for your trip and the timing together: the A&P Show takes place in spring, attending a Pony Club rally requires prior contact and confirmation of the specific location, and using the sports facilities requires checking the current programme. Before booking, compare the location of a particular holiday rental with your plans.
