Admission to the Historic Kōpū Bridge is free: donations are always appreciated and will be put towards getting the swing span functioning again during 2021. If you would like to join the roster for these days or volunteer to help at future events and working bees, please get in touch.
The bridge is fully wheelchair accessible.

With Christmas fast approaching, we'd be keen to hear from those who spend the festive season (or part of it) away each year. Where do you go and why? What makes it such a great place to be at this time of year? What are you most looking forward to about the trip? Any words of advice you may have on things to do or places to eat or drink in the area would also be much appreciated. As usual, please put 'NFP' (not for publication) in your comment if you don't want it included in a travel article. Cheers.
