Roaming Hut
You never know who you could be sharing a backcountry hut with. Crafted from salvaged caravan parts, reclaimed heart rimu and an old Scout tent, Roaming Hut brings you such encounters within an urban shelter like no other. Who will you meet there?
Find Roaming Hut
True to its name this Urban Hut roams to different locations during the New Zealand Festival of the Arts (21 Feb – 15 March). See scheduled dates and locations below to plan ahead for when you want to catch it.
Follow the Roaming Hut pin on the map to find the hut in session. It will move each day of the schedule. If you see it on the map, Roaming Hut is there right now! Catch it if you can!
If you don’t see the pin on the map, refer to the schedule and look again during one of those session times. Actual session times may differ from scheduled times. Keep updated by following the hut on the socials:
