🦺 Safety: Please be aware that Gibbs Farm is a working farm, so there are a few hazards to keep in mind on the day. There are several large ponds, tractors, and farm machinery, as well as live animals that roam freely. We kindly ask that you keep a watchful eye on any children and ensure they are supervised at all times.

❌ Cancellations: This event will proceed rain or shine, so please come prepared and dress accordingly. If you’re unable to attend on the day, please let us know. You’re welcome to transfer your ticket to someone else; however, as this is a fundraiser, we are unable to offer refunds.

📍 Address: 2421 Kaipara Coast Highway, Makarau, Auckland 0984. (Access is via this gate only - for both pedestrian and disability access).

🚗 Parking: Parking is on the grass as you turn off the main highway. Look out for our Graeme Dingle Foundation flags so we can scan you in when you arrive. (Note: There will be other charities onsite too, but you need to find us if you’ve purchased tickets through us!)

🎫 Tickets: Please have your tickets with you, either printed or on your phone. Our team will scan the QR code on the ticket.

🥪 Lunch: For those who have ordered a Ploughman's lunch, this will be handed out by our team on entry. If you haven't ordered lunch, please make sure you bring your own as there is no option to purchase a meal on the day. We recommend bringing water and snacks to stay hydrated throughout the day. A limited number of water bottles and soft drinks will be available for a gold coin donation if you need extra. For those needing a caffeine fix or ice cream, keep an eye out for Lisa’s Coffee Trailer, which will be near the entrance.

⌚ Timing & Walking: Gates open at 10 am, and guests must leave by 2 pm. Since it can take 3 to 4 hours to see all the sculptures on foot, we recommend arriving before 11 am at the latest. Be sure to wear good walking shoes so you can enjoy the full experience comfortably.

🧒 Children: For those coming with young children, we recommend a backpack for carrying them. Mountain buggies may be used but can be tricky in some parts of the farm that are steep and have uneven surfaces, so backpacks are recommended where possible if children are not able to walk the whole trail. Please remember to keep a close eye on them, especially around the animals, electric fences, and water.
