Professional Weavers Network of NZ Inc bring a tactile exhibition that blends imagination, skill and creative flair, ‘Ngahere– The Bush of Aotearoa’ brings together some of New Zealand’s most talented weavers.

Opening Hours
- Tuesday - Sunday, 10am-4pm
- Closed Christmas Day, Boxing Day, New Year’s Day, Good Friday, ANZAC Day
Address
