Willow Bank Heritage Village is an affordable, fun and interactive living museum 1km south of Wakefield. With 20+ shop displays for you to explore, food & drink and lots more. A place to get dressed up, to embrace the fun, and immerse yourselves in times gone by.
We have actors who create a unique cultural experience offering various activities of the early 1900’s. Willowbank is ever growing and changing, so there is most likely something new every visit!
We will have running:
🌷 CHILDRENS SUITCASE MARKET - Come along and set up your suitcase stall under our sun shade, stay as long as you like. No need to book.
🌷 BARTER AND SELL MARKET - Please book your spot: info@willowbankwakefield.co.nz. A great opportunity to declutter or sell unused, unwanted, or handmade items etc.
🌷 VICTORIAN SCHOOL EXPERIENCE - Mr Wilkinson will be running the classes, please book outside the school house on the day. There will be a few sessions throughout the day. Not to be missed!

🌷 DRESS UP AND LOOK THE PART - Want to immerse yourself in this experience? We'd love you to! Please pick up a map at the entrance and make your way to the dress shop. Find your character and step back in time. "Willow Bank is a stage and you are part of the play!"
