Tuesday Lunchtime Wellington Walks 2024 start at Plimmer statue (the man with his dog) at the base of Plimmer Steps on Lambton Quay every Tuesday at 12.30pm from 13 February to 26 November.
These Civic walks are designed to last less than 1 hour so that those who work in the city can get back to work on time.
The aim of the Wellington walks is to show people shortcuts around the city as well as historical and modern points of interest and at the same time allow people to keep fit in good company.
