Friends of Karori Cemetery - Our Fair Ladies (Dec 2024)

Our Fair Ladies Tour

Embark on a captivating journey through the history buried in Karori Cemetery with our tour showcasing the remarkable lives of Wellington's women.

This tour offers a unique opportunity to celebrate the resilience, creativity and empowerment of women at a time when a woman couldn't have a bank account in her own name.  You'll hear the stories of women who had a range of interesting occupations. 

Be inspired by the incredible impact of these women's lives in early Wellington.

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.

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 will meet before the tour at the Shelter (listed as Historic chapel on the map)

We look forward to welcoming you to Karori Cemetery.
