Event Details

Discover the taonga they brought with them from their home in Devon, England, and gain an insight into life for Alfred and Eliza on their arrival in Auckland.

Learn about Mariamne Buckland, a bit of a trailblazer in her own right. She travelled throughout New Zealand as a teenager, visited the Pink and White Terraces at Tarawera, had a real interest in motorsport and aeronautics, and even fired the first machine gun brought out to New Zealand. Mariamne lived to the age of 102.

This tour takes you into more than 10 rooms of this rambling Carpenter Gothic mansion.

Bookings are required as spaces are limited. To book contact Highwic on 09 524 5729 or email highwicfunctions@heritage.org.nz

This event is part of Auckland Heritage Festival 2022, 1 October – 16 October.
