Nights Come Alive Again At Te Waimate

The nights are about to come alive again at Te Waimate Mission.

Following the success of last year’s Night at the Museum tours, plans are afoot to repeat the series again this year – but with some surprises.

“We are making this year’s tours even better with a new cast of historical characters as well as some old favourites who are getting ready to show you the after-dark secrets of the Mission House,” says Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga property lead, Lindis Capper-Starr.

People are invited to journey back to the 1800s and experience Te Waimate Mission House as darkness falls on a special series of candlelit tours. The Night at the Museum series is winter’s last hurrah before clocks go forward for daylight saving, which means kids can enjoy the night tours without having to stay up late.

Tours take place on Friday September 5 and Saturday September 6. Three tour options on each night – 5.30pm, 6.30pm and 7.30pm – provide plenty of options for families wanting a whole new heritage experience.

Each tour lasts approximately 45 minutes and hot drinks will be available on the verandah afterwards. The night garden will also be accessible for visitors to explore.

Located an easy 15-minute drive from Kerikeri and Kaikohe, Te Waimate Mission is a Tohu Whenua cared for by Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga.
