Open to Trade Customers: 12pm - 7pm

Please Note: Suppliers are expected to be at their stand by 11am as we are anticipating a soft open of the doors to customers at 11:30am. Additionally, we ask that your stands are manned until the event closes and customers have left. The Bunnings team will make an announcement once bump out commences.

Bump Out

Thursday 24 October: 7.30pm - 10pm 
Friday 25 October: 7am - 3pm 

Please note: The 3pm finish time refers to the time we have venue tenancy till and therefore your stands are expected to be cleared by 12pm of any materials and stock to allow Harry the hirer to take down walling and load the trucks before venue tenancy ends. Any contracted stand builder with the exception of Harry the hirer will not have site access until 8pm on event day to commence bump out. This is to allow our logistics provider to get crates back to stands and ensure the safety of everyone.
