Spring Serenade 2018...

Willowbrook Park remains a proud sponsor of the 

Dame Malvina Major Foundation.

The Dame Malvina Major Foundation helps talented young performing artists to achieve their potential by providing financial assistance, performance opportunities and professional guidance, supporting them to prepare for professional careers.

They do this through a range of grants, prizes and scholarships, including the Emerging Artists Programme with New Zealand Opera.

Dame Malvina established the Foundation in recognition of what she had been given as a young singer to allow her to follow her dream of becoming an opera star. Today her vision to “Share the Dream” continues to underpin everything the Foundation does to support young New Zealanders across the whole spectrum of the performing arts.

Each year Willowbrook Park hosts a charity concert - the Spring Serenade. This year it will be held on November 17th. Tickets are $59 pp and can be purchased through the website, or by phone.

NZ House and Garden Cover

Mirabile dictu, Willowbrook Park is front cover of the April edition of NZ House and Garden!

We were given a 7 page spread in the magazine, which encompassed aspects of family life here at the manor and brilliantly showcased the estate thanks to the photography of the talented Jane Ussher and the words of seasoned writer Denise Irvine.

And some very kind words from Editor Sally Duggan...

Very proud to have it grace our coffee table...
