Circus in the Gardens

Join The Circus Hub in the Botanic Gardens on 21 December for a community performance featuring a variety of circus acts! Brought to you by The Circus Hub in collaboration with Wellington Gardens, we invite you to bring along a picnic blanket and enjoy a fun evening of performance in the beautiful setting of The Dell.

And for those in the mood for dinner and a show, the Taco Addicts food truck will be onsite serving some delicious options before showtime.

Donate to Bellyful 

Bellyful provide meals for whānau with babies or young children, who do not have someone to help out in this way. We deliver enough meals for three nights for immediate caregivers and children. Our volunteer-driven charity is about getting someone through a ‘bump’ or a tough patch.

Christmas can be a tough time for young families who don’t have their own whānau nearby. Ease the pressure by donating some Bellyful meals. You make the donation, we do the rest.
