SUMMARY:Hangman's Noose Tour
DESCRIPTION:In total\, 85 people have been executed for crime in New Zealand with the first in 1842 and the last in 1957. Seventeen of those men were executed in Wellington and 11 are buried in Karori Cemetery.  This walking tour will visit some of their graves to account their crimes\, trials and convictions. It will also visit the plots of some of the victims. \nThe graves are unmarked and placed in remote and disparate locations making this a tour about 2.5 hours long. The route is 2.5km and requires reasonable physical fitness due to the steep terrain and unsealed paths in places. \nThe tour contains a number of adult themes and some graphic descriptions and so is not suitable for everyone. \nEach tour is $10 per person (plus non-refundable booking fee). Children under 12 are free. To book your ticket\, please visit our ticketing website: \nhttps://events.humanitix.com/friends-of-karori-cemetery-hangman-s-noose-tour-oct-2026-wellington-heritage-festival-2026 \nOur 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. \nPlease note: \nIf we have to cancel a tour due to inclement weather or sickness\, we will notify you on the day 1 hour before the tour starts by email and on our Facebook page. The booking fee is non-refundable. \nPlease dress appropriately for the conditions. While we do our best to guide you on a safe walking route\, the ground can become slippery in places. \nSome of our walks require a moderate degree of fitness and are not suited for those with limited mobility. \nThere is only one toilet which is located by the cemetery office at the main entrance. \nIf you have purchased tickets for other people can you please pass our tour information on to them as well. \nPlease meet us at the Shelter (shown as the Historic Chapel on the map at the main entrance)

SUMMARY:Queerly Departed Tour - SOLD OUT
DESCRIPTION:For much of history\, queer lives have existed in the margins—expressed in coded language\, private relationships\, and subtle acts of resistance. Here in Aotearoa queer individuals contributed significantly to the cultural\, social\, and political fabric of our community\, even when recognition was denied to them in life. This tour seeks not to rewrite history\, but notice who may have been omitted\, to question what was assumed\, and to honour lives that deserve to be seen in their entirety. \nThis tour is suitable for people with moderate fitness. The route mostly follows paved surfaces but there are some areas of unevenness. Surefootedness is required. This tour involves approximately 2km of walking\, with some slow paced but uphill stints \nEach tour is $10 per person (plus non-refundable booking fee). Children under 12 are free. Tickets can be purchased on our ticketing website: \nhttps://events.humanitix.com/friends-of-karori-cemetery-queerly-departed-oct-2026-wellington-heritage-festival \nOur 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. \nNote:\nIf we have to cancel a tour due to inclement weather or sickness\, we will notify you on the day 1 hour before the tour start time by email and on our Facebook page. The booking fee is non-refundable. \nThis tour is approximately 2 hours long \nPlease 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. \nSome 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. \nThere is only one toilet which is located by the cemetery office at the main entrance. \nPlease meet us at the shelter (shown as the Historic Chapel on the map at the main entrance) \nWe look forward to welcoming you to Karori Cemetery.
