Parking

Parking is available at Waihao Mārae.  Please inform parking wardens if you have mobility needs and they will direct you to accessible parking spaces.

Stalls prefer bank transfer

Some stalls may not offer Eftpos. Bank transfers are likely to be the easiest and most reliable way to pay, just make sure you have your banking app ready to go. Cash is a good back up option.

Minimise waste

Reusable items are encouraged. Bring your own water bottles and tote bags.

Dress for the weather

The event is outdoors, so please wear comfortable clothing and footwear. Sunblock and hats are recommended if sunny, and pack a raincoat just in case.

Accommodation and Transport

You will need to arrange your own accommodation and transport. Accommodation in Morven is limited, but nearby towns such as Oamaru and Timaru have good options.
