Get the family involved this summer
Hi locals! Looking for something to do with your kids this summer? The Hamilton Gardens Arts Festival has something to offer everyone – even the littlest of festival-goers.
The weekends are full of great kids’ events, from a toddler boogie and princess sing-along to the Family Fun Day on Saturday 23 February. Bring a picnic or grab something from one of our food trucks, and settle in for a day of free children’s films, a ukulele jam, and of course the classic teddy bear’s picnic.
We’d love to see you there!
Sally and Bronwyn
Festival Co-Directors
Have you been to Hamilton Gardens lately?
Hamilton will soon offer a portal to a medieval ‘hospital’, without the stress of the bubonic plague.
The Medieval Gardens will open next year at Hamilton Gardens, with much of the work already done.
Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
