Event Details

Matariki is a special time of year. Matariki is a star cluster that appears in our skies in the winter month of Pipiri (June-July) and marks the first month of the Māori lunar calendar. It is a time of new beginnings, reflection, gathering together and celebration.

Cornwall Park’s FREE Matariki Exhibition is a welcoming space for whānau, friends and communities to come together to learn about Matariki, reflect on the year past, dream about the year to come and have fun! You will learn about Matariki, Maramataka – the Māori lunar calendar, the stars and much more.

The exhibition is indoors and on from 11 June to 28 August from 10am to 4pm. All visitors over the age of 12 years old will be required to wear a face mask while in the building.

Location: Huia Lodge Discovery Hub (next to the Cornwall Park Bistro)

Cornwall Park is the oasis at the heart of Auckland city for New Zealanders. The park celebrates the city and its inhabitants with music, events and activities. It is more than just a park — it is 425 acres (172 hectares) of New Zealand’s living history, weaving together our heritage, ecology, agriculture, wildlife, mauri, and community within its lush landscape. The Cornwall Park Trust Board, who manages and operates Cornwall Park, continues to honour Sir John Logan Campbell's wish was that the park be free for every New Zealander to enjoy, forever.
