Join us for an unforgettable day at Gibbs Farm to raise funds for Melanoma New Zealand. The celebrated Gibbs Farm is an expansive open-air sculpture park located in the beautiful Kaipara Harbour, north of Auckland. It is the greatest collection of large-scale outdoor sculptures in the country, with works by some of the world’s most renowned artists, including Andy Goldsworthy, Anish Kapoor and Richard Serra.
Tickets can be purchased here but are limited, so be sure to get in early. All proceeds from ticket sales will directly support Melanoma New Zealand - the only charity in New Zealand solely championing the prevention, detection and treatment of melanoma for all New Zealanders.
What to bring:
Comfortable walking shoes – the paved walk is 6-7 km long with a few small hills; however, you can choose to do as much or as little of this as you please
Camera – photos are allowed
Sunscreen, sunglasses, and a wide brimmed hat
Food & water - bring a picnic and a blanket and make a day of it... The Cow Shed will be on site offering drinks and food for sale (including vegan and gluten-free options)
