Ahurei 2026 – Ngāti Pūkenga Whānau Hui

25–27 Mahuru / September 2026

He hui ā-iwi, he hui ā-whānau, he hui ā-ngākau.
Our Ahurei is back for 2026! Join us in Maketū for a weekend of whakawhanaungatanga, wānanga, and celebration with whānau from across the motu.

Together, we’ll enjoy kai, kōrero, kapa haka, waiata, and a full weekend programme designed for all ages. Whether you’re a regular or reconnecting after time away, this is our time to come together, strengthen our bonds, and create new memories.

🌿 Something for Everyone

Rangatahi programme: interactive, hands-on activities and kōrero to inspire and empower our younger generation
Pakeke sessions: relaxed spaces, wānanga, and opportunities to engage in te ao Māori in ways that fill the wairua
A detailed programme will be posted up late August.
