Friends of Karori Cemetery: Catholic Tales (September)

Catholic Tales

Come and explore an early part of the cemetery where we encounter a very diverse lot of people. Hear about one of Wellington's richest and distinguished families; a champion boxer; a choirmaster, organist and musician and a man who fought in the US wild west.

*Note: This tour has also been known as First Catholics.

The tour duration is 1 hour 30mins. The tour mostly follows paved surfaces but there are some areas of unevenness.

Each tour is $10 per person (plus non-refundable booking fee). Children under 12 are free.

Our tour has a maximum capacity of about 15 persons. If there are insufficient tickets remaining for your party, please email us at info@friendsofkaroricemetery.co.nz to check if we can accommodate you.

Note:
If we have to cancel a tour due to inclement weather or sickness, we will notify you on the day by 9am by email and on our Facebook page. The booking fee is non-refundable.

Please dress appropriately for the conditions. While we do our best to guide you on a safe walking route, during the winter months the ground can become slippery in places.

Some of our walks require a moderate degree of fitness and are not suited for those with limited mobility. Please read the tour descriptions carefully to check that they will be suitable for you.

We look forward to welcoming you to Karori Cemetery.
