Live Day! | Topography, Taonga and Trailblazers
SUNDAY 9th OCTOBER 2022!
The Heritage of Tāmaki Makaurau comes to life in the authentic 1840s-1880s setting of the Howick Historical Village! As a part of the Auckland Heritage Festival 2022, Howick Historical Village welcomes you to come along to our October Live Day to discover stories of East Auckland’s trail-blazing pioneers as they struggled and settled in a new land.
Immerse yourself in the lives of Tāmaki Makaurau’s trailblazers and enter their homes, schoolhouses, church, pub, general store, courthouse, and more! Meet our costumed villagers undertaking daily tasks of 19th-century life such as baking, butter churning, washing, and laying rope.
Attend a school lesson and try your hand at traditional crafts. The authentic coal range in Puhi Nui homestead will be fired up, with baking in the oven and something tasty on the stovetop! The sweet shop will be offering an array of old-fashioned lollies, fudge, and treats. Bring a picnic to enjoy in the blooming heritage gardens or enjoy a delicious lunch at the onsite Homestead Café!
Admission prices: adult $18, student/senior $14, child $10, child under 5, family pass $45, members & annual pass holders - free entry.
