Tour series Ain't Nothing Like a Dame will offer an opportunity to get 'hands on'
Ngaio Marsh House and Heritage Trust is delighted to announce that we will be running some special tours in October 2024 in association with Christchurch Heritage Festival.
This year's Heritage Festival theme is 'Active Heritage' in sport, recreation and leisure to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Commonwealth Games in Christchurch.
The Ain't Nothing Like a Dame tour series involves a one hour tour of the Christchurch Category I heritage villa of internationally acclaimed writer, actor, artist and theatre producer Dame Ngaio Marsh, along with the opportunity to dabble in an artistic pursuit of your own! This will be optional. More information to come.
Hosted by one of our knowledgeable and passionate volunteer guides, you'll learn all about the extraordinary artistic life of Dame Ngaio Marsh. You will discover a unique heritage property by noted Christchurch architect Samuel Hearst Seager along with our heritage garden (complete with 100-year-old mulberry tree) and Ngaio's personal collection including books, noted art, furniture, clothes and more.
Follow in the footsteps of artists, budding actors and Hollywood greats like Laurence Olivier and Vivien Leigh, and visit Ngaio Marsh House for the Ain't Nothing Like a Dame tour series for Heritage Week this October.
