Hi @FirstName,

Thank you for booking tickets to Deck the Rooms for Refuge 2025!

Below are a few important details to keep handy when planning your day.

Remember to follow along on Facebook and Instagram for event updates and information.

Event date: Saturday 15 November 2025

Event timings: 9am - 5pm (please note this is an 18+ event)

Event booklet & locations: The event booklet outlining all eight properties locations will be supplied via email from Taranaki Women's Refuge closer to the event.

Access to properties: This year, Deck the Rooms will be using a wristband system for entry to properties. To collect your wristband, you must bring your ticket (either printed or by showing the QR code on your phone) to the Taranaki Women’s Refuge office at 19 Eliot Street, New Plymouth during one of the designated collection times listed below. Wristbands will not be available at the properties, and without one, you will not be permitted to enter. A short collection window will be available on Saturday morning of the event for those travelling from out of town. Please ensure you set aside time to collect your wristband in advance to avoid disappointment.

Thursday 13 November 3.30pm – 6.30pm 19 Eliot Street, New Plymouth

Friday 14 November 3.30pm – 6.30pm 19 Eliot Street, New Plymouth

Saturday 15 November 8am – 10am 19 Eliot Street, New Plymouth

Every guest should have their own ticket. You may collect wristbands on behalf of others provided you have their ticket, they are then your responsibility. If wristbands are lost between collection and the event, they will not be replaced.

Parking: Parking will vary at each location and can be at a premium in busy areas. We recommend you carpool where possible to reduce congestion on streets surrounding the homes.
