Hollard Gardens rolls out Children's Day magic

23 February 2015

Hollard Gardens in Kaponga will be magically transformed into a little people’s kingdom on Sunday (1 March) with dance, music, stories and games to mark International Children’s Day.

The Family Fun Day’s activities will include pony rides, storytelling, performances by roving musicians and fairy dancers, mural painting and games including stilt, sack and wheelbarrow races, Twister, quoits and a treasure hunt.

The event will run from 10am to 3pm at Hollard Gardens, 1686 Upper Manaia Road, Kaponga. It has been organised in association with Kindergarten Taranaki and sponsored by Powerco. Entry and all activities are free.

Snacks and treats will be available, including a free barbecue courtesy of Kaponga Lions Club, and families are encouraged to bring a picnic lunch.

Children's Day - Te Rā O Te Tamariki provides New Zealanders with an opportunity to share time with children. It takes place every year on the first Sunday of March and is a chance to celebrate how special and important our children are. See www.childrensday.org.nz.

Sunday’s Family Fun Day is part of a year-round programme of free public events at Hollard Gardens, Pukeiti and Tupare, the three heritage properties owned and managed by the Taranaki Regional Council on behalf of the people of the region.
