Magical Christmas Tour is on this Sunday
10 generous homeowners in the Hutt Valley are preparing to open their homes in support of Te Omanga Hospice. It's Te Omanga's Magical Christmas Tour and it's on this Sunday!
Join with Te Omanga and Tommy's Hutt Valley for a peek at some beautiful homes, all decorated for Christmas with a special focus on the Christmas Table. We couldn't resist sharing a sneak peek of some of the homes below.
Tickets are $50 for an adult or $100 for a family pass which is 2 adults and up to 4 children. Tickets are limited so get in quick.
You can purchase tickets by emailing events@teomanga.org.nz or pop into one of our three Hospice Shops:
• 41 Fitzherbert Street, Petone
• 50 Queens Drive, Lower Hutt
• 21 Queen Street, Upper Hutt
Share Christmas with us and support Te Omanga Hospice.
Thank you to our sponsors Tommy's Hutt Valley and Apex Print & Design for making this event possible. Thank you INphotography "IN it with you" for coming on board again this year to capture the day.
