Join us on the 23rd and 24th of November for a jaunt to visit the Arts, Crafts-people and Gardens of the Eastern Bay of Plenty.

From Opotiki to Whakatane, Ohope, Awakeri, Thornton, Onepu, Manawahe and Kawerau, you will find rich diversity in what is being offered over this weekend. You will visit open Art Studios, Art and Craft Collectives, and incredible gardeners who create amazing landscapes, inclusive of fabulous garden art, around their properties.

Tickets are $12 per person and will be on sale from the 26th October from The Tulip Rose Gallery (Galatea), and the Arts Whakatane Committee (see note below). You will receive a map with all the locations outlined on it. You can then create your own trail.

Morning tea will be offered from Tania Mischefski’s garden in Manawahe. Take some time to relax and enjoy a cuppa and scone to help us fundraise for future events.

Note: more information will be added to this as it is finalised and the final map with everyone’s details, is completed. In the meantime, email artsinfo.artswhakatane@gmail.com if you have any immediate queries.
