Step back in time with the Napier Fire Brigade

For 150 years, you have stood beside us. Through fire, flood and earthquake, this community has backed its brigade, and we have never forgotten it. Now it's our turn to say thank you.

Join us for our High Tea and Heritage Walking Tour, part of the Napier Fire Brigade 150th Jubilee celebrations.

We begin with a beautiful high tea: a mix of savoury and sweet delights, tea and coffee, and good company to share it with.

Then the real adventure starts. Step out onto the streets of the Napier C*D, where the Art Deco tour guides will lead you on a one hour walk back through the decades. Hear the stories behind the sirens: the courage, the close calls, the characters and the moments that shaped our city and the brigade that has served it since 1876. You'll never look at these streets the same way again.

This is our way of giving back to the people who have supported us for a century and a half. Come share a cuppa, walk with us, and be part of our story.

📅 Sunday 25 October 2026
🕐 11:30am - 3pm
📍 Art Deco Trust Building, Clive Square
🎟️ https://events.humanitix.com/tour_and_high_tea

Spaces are limited, so book early.
