The She Shed is a collective of artists based on Gisborne's northern beaches who open their studios once a year. We host other artists in our gardens and you can spend a wonderful day on a self guided tour of studios, art and lovely gardens, with coffee and food stops along the way.

The Tahaenui Christmas Fete will be an unrivalled fixture on the 2023 Christmas shopping calendar. Stallholders from around the North Island set up in the extensive homestead gardens, offering a superb array of artisan wares, food and beverages. Visitors typically come from throughout the region to enjoy the relaxed atmosphere and enjoy the opportunity to buy quality wares in the beautiful, historic garden setting.
