Kiwi Christmas in Battle Hill

Gather the whānau and head to Battle HIll Regional Park for a magical evening of festive fun on the farm. 

Join us for Nick Tansley’s Carols Caravan, bringing joyful live music to the park. Stay later for a screening of the movie Kiwi Christmas on the big screen—a funny, whānau-friendly movie about Santa tuning up for a summer holiday as far away from the North Pole as possible – Aotearoa! 

Carols: 5.30pm - 6.30pm

Movie: 6.30pm - 8pm

Warm up with marshmallow toasting and grab a bite from the Riding for the Disabled fundraising food stall. If conditions allow, join a guided walk to see glow worms later that night. 

Why not make a weekend of it? Come camp at the Battle Hill campground and enjoy everything the park has to offer—from swimming holes and forest walks to peaceful picnic spots and farm animals. 

Get the whānau involved in Summer Events

Discover the magic of your regional parks. For 25 years, Greater Wellington has been hosting recreational events that help people connect with nature, get active outdoors, and enjoy time together. 

Battle Hill Farm Forest Park is more than just a beautiful place—it’s a hub for ecological restoration and history. Greater Wellington’s work here restores native bush, showcases farm animals for children, preserves historic sites, and helps build resilience to climate change. Our mana whenua partners, farmers, and volunteers play a vital role in keeping this park a special place for everyone.
