When it comes to large-scale agricultural exhibitions and outdoor expos, few venues in South Africa offer the diversity and functionality of NAMPO Park, located just outside Bothaville. This venue, home to the renowned NAMPO Agricultural Trade Show, is more than just an event space—it is a hub that brings together the agricultural community, business exhibitors, and outdoor enthusiasts in one dynamic location. Let’s take a closer look at what makes NAMPO Park an exceptional venue.

State-of-the-Art Facilities

One of the standout features of NAMPO Park is its comprehensive range of facilities designed to cater to a variety of exhibition needs. Whether you’re an exhibitor or a visitor, you’ll find large open and covered stands, each equipped with essential services such as water, electricity, and communication options. The venue encourages exhibitors to establish permanent structures, which showcases their ongoing commitment to the agricultural industry. Additionally, on-site restaurant and ablution facilities, as well as first-aid and firefighting services, ensure a seamless and safe experience.

For the media, NAMPO Park boasts a modern media centre where the press can work efficiently, complete with Wi-Fi and workstations. Ample signage and an information office make navigating the grounds simple, while well-maintained pedestrian concourses and shaded areas enhance the comfort of visitors.

Accessibility and Services

Another major advantage of NAMPO Park is its strategic accessibility. The venue offers ample parking, a heliport, and even its own runway, which is conveniently located near the northern vehicle parking area. This allows exhibitors and visitors to travel with ease, whether they arrive by car or plane. A commuter service connects the venue to the nearby town of Bothaville and its airport, making the venue well-positioned for both local and international attendees.

NAMPO Park’s runway is equipped with air traffic control and follows strict safety protocols, but it’s important to note that its use is at your own risk. The landing strip is 1,200m long and 20m wide, ensuring a safe landing space for those who choose to fly in.

Catering and Dining Options

When hosting thousands of visitors and exhibitors, catering becomes a crucial part of the event experience, and NAMPO Park does not disappoint. There are 22 takeaway restaurants offering a wide variety of meals, while the Fanie Ferreira Hall can accommodate up to 1,200 people for more formal dining. For those seeking a more relaxed atmosphere, there is also a beer garden and a tea room for beverages. If convenience is a priority, exhibitors can take advantage of mobile food delivery services that bring meals straight to their stands.

Versatile Event Spaces

The versatility of NAMPO Park extends beyond exhibitions. The Fanie Ferreira Hall, for instance, offers a private and luxurious dining atmosphere and can be transformed to suit various functions, whether for business meetings or gala dinners. The vast outdoor spaces also provide opportunities for practical demonstrations, such as those showcased during the NAMPO ALFA Livestock, Hunting, and Outdoor Expo. This event, scheduled from 17-19 October 2024, will feature demonstrations of 4x4 vehicles, caravans, and hunting equipment, with a shooting range and practical experiences that highlight NAMPO Park’s adaptability as a venue.
