LIVE DAY | Matariki

Annaliese Lines from Howick Historical Village

Join us to celebrate Matariki, explore connections to our taiao (environment) and learn more about the tenets of the Māori New Year such as remembrance, acknowledging our bounty and planning for the future.

We are proud to present Pacific Frequencies: MAHU, an interactive audio exhibition focusing on Indigenous and Pacific stories of home and healing.

Explore the grounds in a tour of our heritage gardens to learn about plants and their medicinal uses. Discover ways to dye fabric the natural way or craft a star and make a wish for the New Year!

Check out some of our other regular live day activities, see the coal range in Puhi Nui homestead fired up and the blacksmiths at work in the forge. Pick up some old-fashioned lollies at the sweet shop or unwind at the Homestead Café. There will be something for everyone so make a day of it!

Admission: adult $18, student/senior $14, child $10, family $45. Children under 5, members & annual pass holders - free entry. Tickets are available to pre-book on Eventfinda. Unlimited door sales will be available on the day.
