The Festival of Pots and Garden Art was first established in 2010 as an opportunity for potters to exhibit and sell their work in a garden setting.

Over 100 potters and artists from the lower north island contributed to last year’s event. The Festival is set in 10 acres of established gardens and has featured many forms of pottery and ceramics, from domestic wares to large sculptural pieces, alongside framed art works and works in wood, stone & steel.  In addition, a full programme of artist demonstrations runs each day of the Festival.
