Open Day 15 Nov 2026

Willow Bank Heritage Village Open Day with historic-style village buildings, vintage displays and family activities in Wakefield, Nelson, New Zealand

Willow Bank Heritage Village – Open Day

Step back in time and enjoy a day of discovery at Willow Bank Heritage Village!

Wander through our unique village of 20+ little shops and buildings, each filled with fascinating displays, vintage treasures and stories from the past. From the old-fashioned schoolhouse and village cinema to the Victorian Café and 1950s-style Buzz Saw Burger Bar, there is something to explore around every corner.

Try your hand at a lesson in the schoolhouse, enjoy vintage films in our Super 8 cinema, discover the wonders of the toy museum or simply take your time exploring the buildings, gardens and quirky collections throughout the village.

Feeling hungry? Stop by the Victorian Café for a homemade treat, a burger at the Buzz Saw Burger Bar, or enjoy a milkshake, spider or ice cream from our Milkshake Bar.

Whether you’re reliving childhood memories, sharing stories across generations or discovering a bygone era for the first time, Willow Bank offers a relaxed, hands-on experience for all ages.

More than a heritage village – it’s an experience!

Next Open Day: 15 November | 10am–3pm.
Admission: $7 per adult and $3 per child.

Proceeds support the ongoing development, running and upkeep of Willow Bank Heritage Village.
