Heritage Festival

Nau mai, haere mai! 

The Heritage Festival is starting in March this year! 

Take part in a plethora of activities that will expand your understanding and celebrating all things heritage.  It includes talks, walks, and guided tours, offering something for every age and interest.

We are working hard putting the finishing touches on the programme.

Check back here for the full programme in February. 

We can't wait to see you at the 2026 Heritage Festival!
