Nelson is located at the top northwest corner of New Zealand's south island. It is New Zealand's second oldest city and has been settled as early as 1841. Its location makes for discoveries into the three nearby national parks (Abel Tasman, Kahurangi and Nelson Lakes) as well as Nelson's lively arts and crafts scene, leading along the Golden Bay region.

Creative workshops are offered as a way to interact with local culture and see artists at work. They focus on typical New Zealand activities, such as wood crafting, bone carving or harakeke (flax) weaving. Moreover, interactive workshops allow you to meet wine makers, olive oil, coffee & cheese producers. Or you can venture out on a fun educational trip to the native forests bordering Kahurangi National park.
