Plan your weekend escape now
Just over the Kaimai’s is an arts festival ready to surprise, delight and excite!
The Hamilton Gardens Arts Festival is your ticket to experience world-class theatre, arts, dance, music and more.
Be there to celebrate the launch of the first studio album by Fly My Pretties, laugh the night away with 2019 Billy T Award winning comedian Kura Forrester, experience the theatrical excellence of Wild Dogs Under My Skirt fresh from a historic season in New York or be amazed by NZ’s leading contemporary cirque company The Dust Palace.
It’ll be two weeks of arts and frivolity in a magical setting!

Whether you burnt the dinner or were stranded at an airport...
