Christmas at Riverstone with WGHS & Myfanwy Alexander

Christmas at Riverstone with WGHS & Myfanwy Alexander

Thu 14 Dec 2023, 10:00 PM - Fri 15 Dec 2023, 2:00 AM

Do you fancy a day out? Are you looking for a special Christmas gift? Look no further.


Please join us for a festive outing at Riverstone and help us to raise funds for the Waitaki Girls’ High School Music and Drama Suite.


Get a group of family or friends together and enjoy Riverstone Castle in all its Christmas glory. Indulge in a delicious Riverstone Lunch and be inspired by our guest speakers.


Castle Tour

11am - Welcome Ceremony at the North Entrance of Riverstone Castle, followed by a tour.


1pm Lunch at Riverstone Kitchen with inspirational input from Myfanwy Alexander.

Growing up in the UK in a non-farming family it may seem strange that Myfanwy is now running a 900-cow farm in the Waitaki Valley.


The series of events that led down this – not always smooth, but always exciting – path have helped shape her and fuelled her passion for the industry and the community she now calls home.


Recently awarded the ODT/Rural Life Year of the Farmer Champion title, Myfanwy talks to us about her life and some of what she has learnt so far.
