AAA Crystal Shop Viewings Over the School Holidays

Crystal Shop Viewings Over the School Holidays

Saturday 26 September – Sunday 11 October 2026

This year we’re looking forward to returning to the biennial Tauranga Gem, Crystal & Fossil Show, being held at Tauranga Racecourse from Friday 2nd to Sunday 4th October 2026.

As the show falls right in the middle of the school holidays, our usual viewing times will be a little different while we pack, attend the show, and then unpack afterwards.

If you're planning a visit to Blissful Things during the holidays, here are the dates you need to know:
Saturday 26th – Monday 28th September
💎 Viewings available by appointment.
Please book in advance to avoid disappointment, as days and times can fill up quickly.

Tuesday 29th September – Thursday 1st October
📦 No appointments available.

We’ll be busy packing and preparing for the show.
Friday 2nd – Sunday 4th October✨ Come and see us at the National Gemstone, Crystal & Fossil Show!

Tauranga Racecourse, Tauranga. Click here for show details.

Monday 5th & Tuesday 6th October
📦 No appointments – unpacking after the show.

Wednesday 7th October
💎 Viewings available by appointment.
Please book in advance.

Thursday 8th & Friday 9th October
💎 Afternoon appointments available.
Please book in advance.

Saturday 10th October
✨ Possible Open Day – yet to be confirmed.

Sunday 11th October
✨ Availability yet to be confirmed.

After the school holidays, viewings and pickups will return to our usual schedule.
Please remember that Blissful Things is not a traditional retail shop. Our crystal cabin is based in Pahoia, between Katikati and Tauranga, and private viewings are by appointment unless an Open Day is advertised.
We look forward to seeing some familiar faces — and hopefully plenty of new ones — over the school holidays and at the National!
