Wellington Writers Walk walking tour

Walk the Walk – explore the iconic Wellington Writers Walk on a gentle, guided waterfront walking tour

The much-loved Wellington Writers Walk consists of a series of 23 quotations from well-known New Zealand writers. This walking tour, led by members of the Writers Walk committee, will provide an opportunity to find out more about its history, discover some of the sculptures and ask questions. It concentrates mostly on the sculptures in the area around Te Papa and Te Wharewaka.

Wellington Writers Walk

The Wellington Writers Walk, a much-loved part of the waterfront, consists of a series of 23 quotations from well-known New Zealand writers including poets, novelists and playwrights, all of whom have (or had) a strong connection to Wellington. The Writers Walk Committee oversees the Walk and we would love to share our passion for this project during Heritage Week by offering a virtual tour of some of the sculptures.
