Galentine's Dinner: Rebel Hearts

Galentine's Dinner: Rebel Hearts
NZD $199.00
  • Duration: 4 Hours (approx.)
  • Location: Threshold Gallery, Level 4, Te Papa

Gather your gals and closest pals for this punk-themed pop-up that will bring together four rock star chefs: Max Gordy (Graze), Laura Greenfield (Field & Green), Nikita Kuschke (Rita), and Ellis Robbins (ex Everybody Eats).  

Celebrate the rebellious, the unapologetic, and the fiercely feminine and pay homage to the iconic Vivienne Westwood at this immersive dining event. Combining avant-garde flavours and unexpected pairings, every course will take inspiration from Westwood’s disruptor ethos.

Kicking off with a cocktail and canapés, you'll have after-hours access to Vivienne Westwood & Jewellery, followed by dinner, drinks, and live music. 

Tickets include:

  • Cocktail and canapés: one themed cocktail and a selection of canapés inspired by the exhibition and daring women of history.

  • Exhibition experience: After-hours access to Vivienne Westwood & Jewellery, with curators on hand to answer questions and give insights into the exhibition.

  • Immersive dining and drinks: haute cuisine shared plates in a punk-glamour wonderland, with drinks provided by our fantastic event sponsors, Brennan Wines, Dancing Sands Distillery, and Fever-Tree.  

  • Live music: details to be announced soon.

Celebrate Galentine's in style! Guests are encouraged to be bold and dress in styles inspired by Vivienne Westwood’s rebellious designs — think tartans, corsets, clashing prints, and DIY jewellery.
