With blooming heritage gardens and big shady Oak trees to enjoy, this event is the perfect summertime activity. The Howick Croquet Club will be playing, and welcoming anyone who wants to try!
See the coal range in our grand Puhi Nui homestead fired up, blacksmiths at work in the forge, attend a Victorian school lesson, and try cold homemade lemonade. The sweet shop will be open and filled with old-fashioned lollies, fudge, and treats!
