Experience the Extraordinary: Join FARA NZ at Iconic Gibbs Farm
A Day of Art, Nature, and Hope.
On Friday, 27th March 2026, we invite you to explore the breathtaking landscape of Gibbs Farm.
Why This Matters: This isn't just a day out; it is a powerful step toward a cure. We are proud to confirm that 100% of ticket sales from this event will go directly toward Friedreich’s Ataxia research. By purchasing a ticket, you aren't just gaining access to a private park—you are funding vital science that could change lives.
About the Venue: Resting on the Kaipara Harbour, Gibbs Farm is an expansive, open-air sculpture park that defies description. It is home to the largest collection of large-scale outdoor sculptures in New Zealand, featuring world-renowned works by artists such as Anish Kapoor, Neil Dawson, and Richard Serra.
As you walk the rolling hills, you will experience the interaction between the land, the sea, and the colossal art installations that dominate the horizon. You may even share the path with the farm’s exotic residents, including giraffes, zebras, and bison!

Important Note on Tickets: Access to Gibbs Farm is by appointment only and dates are extremely limited. Fundraiser days like this typically sell out very quickly. We strongly recommend securing your tickets early to avoid disappointment.
