Kaipara Sculpture Gardens - 2024 Exhibition Opening (Dec 2nd 2pm)
Our sculpture gardens contain around 40 pieces created by local and overseas artists and are displayed along a 1.2km country trail in some of the most beautiful surroundings in the Kaipara area.
The pieces on display are changed each year at the end of November; so if you would like to check out the ones for 2024 come along and spend the afternoon with us at the gardens.
Please see the attached pdf for further details.
Hope to see you there.
