Another fantastic programme of events for the week has been planned. We have the ever popular talks and walks, along with some new events for 2011.

They include:

We also invite you to:

See you there!

You can contribute to Palmerston North’s story by donating photographs and movie footage of Palmerston North.

This year we are particularly seeking images that help us paint a picture of Palmerston North in the 1970s.
