The Great Karori ‘Spring into Spring’ Quiz

How much do you really know about the history of Karori?

Do you know where the original stockade was in Karori? Do you know the name of the first “lady doctor” in Karori? And in which street was the famous Karori Tea Gardens located?

Our quizmasters extraordinaire have pored through Karori and Its People, Karori Streets, as well as our many back issues of The Stockade, to handcraft and curate an evening’s worth of questions to get you thinking and keep you entertained, while sharing and learning more about the history of our home suburb. From straightforward to head scratchingly tricky, come along, have some fun, and show us how much you know! Friends, family and lovers of quizzes are all welcome. 

We look forward to seeing you on Tuesday 9 September.
