LIVE DAY | Village Fête

Step back in time and experience an old-fashioned Village Fête!

Try your hand at traditional fair games and win prizes! Meet costumed villagers, make butter, learn about bees with the Village beekeeper (a.k.a The Bee Lady) in a talk at 1pm.

Attend a Victorian school lesson, see the coal range & bread ovens fired up. Meet the bookbinders and Solomon 'the Solo Blacksmith' at work at the forge.

The gelato cart will be on site and the sweet shop open, filled with treats. With performances by the Morris Dancers at 10:30am & 11:30am and the bagpipe band at 12pm, there will be lots of fun for all ages!

Running alongside the Live Day in the Bell House gardens is EAST AUCKLAND ECO DAY. Explore sustainable living from past to present as part of EcoFest 2024.

Meet environmental groups and chat with experts on composting, chicken keeping and more.

Bring the family and make a day of it!
