Early bird ticket sales
The countdown is on! Set a reminder for the 1st of July because that's the day our early bird ticket sales kick off!
For the month of July, when you purchase our ticket bundles, we will throw extra tickets in for free. Buy five tickets and get one free, or buy ten tickets and get two free. This is a great way to see more properties and the best value for money for those planning to have a mini vacation at the Hurunui Garden Festival. You can also order a guide book to be sent with your tickets to help you plan your day.
Ticket sales will be available at www.hurunuigardenfestival.com
Alternative accommodation
Have you thought about accommodation for the Hurunui Garden Festival yet? The motels and hotels fill up very quickly, so why not try glamping? We have multiple properties on the festival trail who are happy to accommodate overnight campers. This cost $15 per night, payable to the property owner and goes directly into our scholarship fund.
To find out which properties offer overnight camping, check out our guidebook when it becomes available on July 1st.
We only ask that you:
ring ahead to book in with the property
are self contained
take all rubbish with you
pay your overnight fee in cash to the property owner
check that the property is dog friendly if you intend to bring your dog.
any dogs that are accompanying you are treated for sheep measles (Drontal tablet or similar)
