In 2026, the field returns, offering a maze that takes people about 30 minutes to wind their way through the vibrant flowers, rope swings and colourful doorways, which have been thoughtfully placed to help visitors capture that perfect picture.
A clearing in the middle of the blooms offers the best spot for a picnic, with chairs and tables available, ice cream and drinks for sale, and a stunning view at every turn.
Entry is $10 for adults, $5 for kids. Pay on the day. Each paying visitor gets to pick a stem to take home.
An acclaimed Irish band touring with global superstar Ed Sheeran are making a stop in Northland.
Beoga will be bringing its fusion of traditional Irish music with pop and folk to the Turner Centre in Kerikeri on January 18.
The gig is a side show to the band’s stadium performances with Sheeran, who is down under for his Loop Tour set to visit Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch.
The five-piece band blend accordion, fiddle, keyboards, guitars and vocals to create a vibrant, modern take on Irish music.
Beoga’s sound is clearly a hit, given the popularity of Sheeran’s Galway Girl, which was a collaboration between the band and singer.
