Taranaki Activities
The outdoor enthusiast's dream, there is no shortage of family fun in Taranaki. Home to popular annual events such as the international music festival WOMAD held at local venue The Bowl of Brooklands, and TSB Festival of Lights held every December-January at the award-winning Pukeura Park. There are indoor and outdoor activities for all times of the year, try getting lost in the Maize Maze in Inglewood on a sunny weekend. Local magazines MOOD and Live often have great suggestions and stories showcasing the Taranaki region. You can read these online or we usually have a copy or two around the GSNZ campus.
