LIVE DAY | Victorian Hobbies, Games & Crafts

Join us at Howick Historical Village to discover what the Victorians did on their days off in our live day devoted to hobbies, games, and crafts.

Meet costumed villagers crafting up a storm in the parlour of the grand homestead, Puhi Nui! Make a rag rug from fabric scraps and see the vintage hand-crank sewing machine in action.



Churn butter and make your own beeswax candle to take home. Learn the art of bookbinding with members of the Association of Book Crafts. See the blacksmiths at work at the forge, the coal range fired up and visit the sweet shop filled with old-fashioned lollies and fudge!

With craft activities, outdoor games, and performances - Morris dancing at 10:30am & 11:30am bagpipe band at 12pm - there will be lots of fun for everyone! Have lunch at the Homestead Café and make a day of it!



Door Admission: adult $18, student/senior $14, child $10, family $46. Children under 5, members & annual pass holders - free entry.
