CELEBRATE YOUR EVENT IN A HERITAGE HOUSE
A beautiful Victorian home with lush gardens
|
Avebury House is set within Avebury Park, an English-style garden setting with expansive lawns and large deciduous trees. The grounds also includes a popular children's playground and a paddling pool.
Built as the Flesher family homestead in 1885, the heritage house was refurbished by the Christchurch City Council in 1999 after many years as the Cora Wilding Youth Hostel. It is now a perfect venue for workshops, events and other special celebrations, as well as a hub for local community groups and classes. Avebury House can be hired for the day or part thereof. You can hire the whole house, or as many individual rooms you require. The house is managed by the Avebury House Community Trust for the community to enjoy. The Richmond Room is open daily for visitors to learn more about Avebury House's history and its surrounding gardens. |

Anzac Remembrance Walk - 25 April, 10am - 11am
Join us at Avebury House on Anzac Day as we remember those who served and those who did not return home. Our Anzac Crosses installation will be erected on the riverbank by Matty - the amazing volunteer who made them - by Thursday 23rd weather-permitting. At 10am on Saturday, Stuart the Piper will call people to the front of the house where history volunteer David will introduce himself, then he and Stuart will lead the walk, along the City to Sea, to the riverside crosses. Here David will give another brief talk and we’ll pause to reflect.
In the past we have taken a circuitous route back to Avebury through the red zone, as part of the Walking Festival, but as we are outside the festival dates this year, we will simply return to the house for a cuppa and an Anzac biscuit, made by Mary, another of our incredible volunteers. Donations accepted but not required. Everyone welcome!
