Come down to Howick Historical Village for Pagotomania - The Great Victorian Ice Cream Craze! 

Victorians loved ice-cream because it was a luxurious novelty and was a marvel of modern technology

Try our custom-made Victorian ice-cream flavours while strolling the grounds meeting our costumed villagers and try your hand at traditional village games.

Enjoy our beautiful gardens in full spring growth and see if you can win a prize solving the glorious ice-cream trail!

Try out the old-fashioned craft loved by all! See the coal range in Puhi Nui homestead fired up, blacksmiths at work at the forge, and attend a Victorian school lesson. The sweet shop will be open and filled with old-fashioned lollies, fudge, and treats. Bring a picnic to enjoy in the heritage gardens or have lunch at the Homestead Café!
