Event Details

Drop in with your whānau to create a memory stone in honour of someone special. Kōhatu (stones) are lasting and strong – just like the memories we carry of the people we love.

When finished, you’re welcome to take your stone home or add it to our taonga chest — a growing collection of memories made here during Matariki.

A calm, creative activity for all ages. All materials provided.
