Matariki Night Walk at the Styx

Celebrate Matariki with a lantern-lit family night walk beside the Styx River, in partnership with the Styx Living Laboratory Trust and CCC.

Explore one of our newest parks by night at this family event. Darkness transforms the natural world into a different place. Your guides will point out the special features and creatures that reveal themselves only under the cover of night. We will finish by gathering around the fire to sup hot chocolate and listen to stories.

The walk will take about 45 minutes and is suitable for pushchairs. Dress warmly with sturdy footwear. We encourage you to wear dark, non-rustling clothes – the magic comes alive if we are quiet! Don't forget your torch or LED lantern.

A gold coin donation to the Styx Living Laboratory Trust would be appreciated.

All attendees, regardless of age, must register. Limit 70 people per session.
