Whanāu Fusion 2026
Hosted by Onepoto Awhina
Highbury House
110 Hinemoa Street, Birkenhead
Kia ora e te whānau ❤️ For the final Whānau Fusion gathering, Tū Mai, Onepoto Awhina is bringing together local history, pepeha and hands-on tukutuku making. Explore the stories of our area, the people and places that connect us, and support you to learn or strengthen your pepeha. Come as you are, whether you know yours already or are just getting started. You’ll also have the chance to make your own tukutuku piece to take home! Choose your colours, learn the stitching and enjoy creating something alongside your tamariki, mokopuna and neighbours. A morning of kōrero, learning, laughter and making memories together. Bring the whānau and come have a go! ❤️ Tū mai, hono mai, ako mai. 🌿
Blue September 2026 - Fundraising for Prostate Cancer Foundation NZ
1 in 8 Kiwi Men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime.
September 2026 the team at Highbury House set a fundraising challenge to smash out heaps of push-ups throughout the month to inspire you to dig deep towards life-saving research and support for Prostate Cancer Foundation NZ. Together we raised over $500 for this amazing cause.
Halloween Pitstop 2026
Sadly we made the decision not to host this event this year, due to a shortage of volunteers. The Highbury House Halloween Pitstop will be returning for 2027 and if you would like to volunteer please contact us. Further details for 2027 will be released October 2027!
Birkenhead Point Gateway Walk
Highbury House is delighted to be part of the Birkenhead Point Gateway Walk which is a self-guided loop walk taking you past local heritage homes and buildings. Drop by and read our new sign where you can learn all about our beautiful historic villa and its fascinating history of being Birkenhead's first police station from 1905 to 1969. Did you know that we still have the original jail cells out the back?
Kaipatiki Repair Cafe
Our August Repair Cafe was a big success. We hope to hold another one early in 2027 so watch this space for more details. The next Kaipatiki Repair Cafe will take place on September 5th from 1pm to 3pm at the Bayview Community Centre. Bring your items for repair, plus enjoy a hot drink and some baking and connect with others!
Pacific Cultural Gala 2026
What a day! A celebration of the beautiful Pacific culture was held here at Highbury House on Saturday 7 November. We look forward to the return of this event in 2027 with more performances and workshops.
Highbury House Pink Ribbon Morning Tea 2026
Highbury Community House was delighted to host a Pink Ribbon Morning Tea on 6th June 2026 to help fund breast cancer education, patient support, research, and advocacy in New Zealand. It was truly touching to see so many of our community come together to support this great cause and hear women share their stories. Their strength was an inspiration to all. We raised over $1500 for Breast Cancer Foundation NZ. Set to become an annual event at Highbury House.
