When did you last attend a World of WearbaleArt Show in Wellington ?
Did you know that Dame Suzie Moncrief has sold the WearableArt show to Hideaki Fukutake in early 2023 - originally from Japan but now resides in New Zealand ? Hideaki has taken the show to new levels. On one level, the World of WearableArt is the most lavish catwalk show in the world. On another level, it’s an art exhibition blown up to epic proportions. And on yet another level, it’s theatre at its finest; it’s as close as New Zealand gets to Broadway.

Hideaki has guaranteed to keep the show in NZ for 5 years after which time he may take it abroad, we just dont know. This is the 2nd year he has owned it and we are expecting the show to be bigger, better and brighter than what we saw last year.

if you have been considering going to the show and havn't made up your mind - let me tempt you with our fully escorted tour.
You get to travel to Wellington by train and really enjoy the fabulous scenery from the huge windows onboard. You can even walk around while travelling - enjoy the viewing car and the dining car and even enjoy a glass of wine or two throughout the journey. We meet you in Wellington at the train station and take care of you. 4 Star accommodation, all inclusive package with Best seats in the house for the World of WearbaleArt Show. This is a show which is suitable for young and old. It really has the wow factor. If you want some more info plaease give us a call or check it out on our website.

Dog registration

Philip from Maungatapu

Well once again our dog rego; has gone up to 125.00, 25.00 extra is dam disgraceful as there are mostly responsible dog owners out there. You have the elderly who have a dog for companionship and are struggling to make ends meet. Why not give discount for responsible dog owners I for one, make sure… View moreWell once again our dog rego; has gone up to 125.00, 25.00 extra is dam disgraceful as there are mostly responsible dog owners out there. You have the elderly who have a dog for companionship and are struggling to make ends meet. Why not give discount for responsible dog owners I for one, make sure that my dog is well looked after and fed properly, and not allowed off the lead. The council have disregard to human rights and would probably say get rid of the dog, which is a family member, and often the persons only companion. Would they give away their children. I think not? Dogs are not only a wonderful companion they are like children who cannot defend for themselves. The council has used unresponsible dog owners to boost their coppers, shame on you, targeting the elderly people, you people don't give a toss.
