To celebrate our exhibition In Plain Site: Memorials and their stories, join us for a special lunchtime walking tour exploring some of the historic memorial sites featured in the display.

Stroll through central Whakatere Ashburton and uncover the stories behind the people and events commemorated in our town’s landscape. At each stop, our team will share insights into the memorial’s origins, symbolism, and enduring significance.

Whether you’re a history enthusiast or curious about the stories around you, this guided trail offers a memorable way to connect with our past.
