Live action at Highwic

Highwic will run a series of live activities for kids during the school holidays as part of the Auckland Heritage Festival.

Three Parlour Parties will provide good Victorian fun for youngsters bored with computer games, movies and other distractions.

“Kids will be able to enjoy playing a range of games that would have been played by children over a century ago – games like Blind Man’s Buff, blow out the candle, musical cushions and more,” says the Manager of Highwic, Cheryl Laurie.

“We’ll also have other games that have proven to be real favourites in the past including quoits, croquet and a treasure trail.”

The Parlour Parties take place on October 2 and 9, 10am-12 noon; and October 3, 1-3pm. Admission $8 per adult, accompanied children free.

Coal on the Range – live demonstrations of Highwic’s coal range  - will also take place on October 3 and 10, at 11-4pm. Admission $8 per adult; children and NZHPT members free.
