Back-at-school blues? Head to Hollards

Back-at-school blues? Head to Hollards

The perfect antidote to any back-at-school blues will be found at Hollard Gardens, Kaponga, on Sunday (28 February).

From 10am to 3pm the premier heritage property will be alive with music, stories, kite-flying, games and other family fun to mark International Children’s Day.

Activities will include pony rides, storytelling, live music, painting sessions and family games. ‘Sparky’, Powerco’s superhero safety boy, will also be in attendance. The event will run from 10am to 3pm at Hollard Gardens, 1686 Upper Manaia Road, Kaponga. It has been organised in association with Kindergarten Taranaki and Rural Women New Zealand, and sponsored by Powerco. Entry and all activities are free.

Bring a picnic lunch and take advantage of the free gas barbecues at Hollards.

Children's Day - Te Rā O Te Tamariki provides New Zealanders with an opportunity to share time with children. Sunday’s Family Fun Day is part of a year-round programme of free public events at Hollard Gardens, Pukeiti and Tupare, the three heritage properties owned and managed by the Taranaki Regional Council on behalf of the people of the region.
