We bring to life the early history of Wellington by telling the story of their experiences and exploits.  The tour visits the old Public\, Anglican\, Catholic\, and Servicemens Cemetery sections that lie at the centre of the Cemetery.  This is a relatively compact area and the tour\, though taking up to 2 hours\, does not involve any difficult terrain. \nTo book your ticket\, please visit our ticketing website: \nhttps://events.humanitix.com/friends-of-karori-cemetery-first-burials-june-2026 \nEach tour is $10 per person (plus non-refundable booking fee).
