Auckland Heritage Festival Is On!

Last night saw the opening event for this year's Auckland Heritage Festival.  

Festival and event organisers got together at historic Allendale House in Ponsonby for presentations by a number of council representatives, including mayor Len Brown. Drinks and nibbles were served and an opportunity was provided to wander through Allendale House, including access to the turret.

The event was enjoyed by all.
