To celebrate the completion of a four year restoration of the National War Memorial Carillon we invite you to Pukeahu to hear National Carillonist, Timothy Hurd QSM, playing the Carillon bells– all 74 of them (but probably not at the same time!) at a series of free recitals. Spice up your weekday lunchtime or Sunday afternoon with the sounds of the Carillon.
As the Carillon is best heard from outside, we recommend you bring a coat to wrap up warm for the recitals as we will keep calm and ‘carillon’ rain or shine!
