Tamariki & Rangatahi Programme
In early July we will be releasing our 2026 Tamariki and Rangatahi programme which includes special events, performances, workshops, talks and a range of incredible performing arts experiences.
If you wish to be on our mailing list please contact us at: education@nelsonartsfestival.nz
We firmly believe in the benefits of engaging in the arts - particularly for our young people.
We welcome any and all who would like to become part of our Festival Whānau, and donate to our Schools programme.
From school matinees and suitable evening performances, to opportunities to participate and get directly involved: music, dance, theatre, and hands-on creative expression, it’s all theirs for the taking.

Reduced price tickets available to schools
Reduced price tickets are available to schools thanks to generous support from partners and private donations.
Thank you to those whose generosity enables us to offer these opportunities to our young ones.
