Highwic Valentine's Picnic

Highwic from Highwic - Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga

Bring your partner and your favourite beverage to the Highwic Valentine’s Picnic! We’ll take care of the rest - a picnic box with delicious snacks and treats, and a quiet corner in our beautiful grounds, ready for your special date.

Set in the lush grounds of this historic property, framed by beautiful flower beds and heritage trees, overlooking the picturesque Carpenter Gothic façade of the Victorian Highwic mansion, this is a truly romantic setting for a memorable Valentine’s Day.

Tickets are $55 per couple. A visit to the house, either before or after your picnic, is also included in your ticket price.

If the weather misbehaves, we'll move event inside.

Numbers are limited.

Please book through Event Brite.

Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed 🚗🚲👟

While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisations—like NZTA—manage long-term projects that go beyond party lines. Politics can sometimes disrupt progress, and the next Harbour Crossing is a big decision that will affect all Aucklanders.

We’d love your thoughts: Should near-complete, shovel-ready designs be shared with the public, or should the community have a hand in shaping the designs from the start?
