If you're into a bit of DIY or just looking for some ideas to spruce up your home, then check out the Tauranga Spring Home Show today.

The three day event, which started at ASB Arena yesterday, has an array of exhibits catering from kitchens, to bathrooms and the outdoors.

The Tauranga Spring Home Show is on today and tomorrow.

Locally owned and operated Mitre 10 Mega Tauranga has put up one of the single biggest prizes seen at the show – a $10,000 voucher for one lucky visitor from October 16-18.
