Wellesley College at Days Bay is the perfect setting for the first screening of this production. It is one of the few buildings that survive from 1908, when Mansfield stayed at her parents’ cottage at nearby Downes Point. Known then as Days Bay House, a hotel, the impressive facade of the main building is much the same today. The feature is a new production by local film maker Simon Hoyle (Southlight) and includes actors from Eastbourne’s Butterfly Creek Theatre Group.

Grab your friends and whānau and join us at Baring Head/Ōrua-pouanui for a morning of planting in this rugged corner of the Wellington Region. We will be planting ngaio, tī kouka, harekeke and other native species in the valley alongside the Wainuiomata River.
