Kapiti College and New Wine have agreed that the 2022 festival at Raumati is too difficult to run under Covid-19 constraints. The two shorter New Wine Big Day Out festivals are our answer to gathering this summer.
We are planning New Wine’s Big Day Out in an ever changing political environment, however our understanding from government currently is that New Wine events will be legally required to ensure all attendees 12 years and over are double vaccinated. The New Wine registration systems will require evidence of vaccinations, pending government work in this area.
New Wine is committed to offer a festival that protects the health and well being of all attendees, and comments here specifically about Covid-19. This comment is written in an ever changing environment as the government works through its requirements for the summer, however our understanding is that a vaccine passport will be developed by the government before the summer.
We understand evidence of double vaccination will be through this passport and will be a mandated requirement for any larger public event. New Wine will adhere to this mandate requiring attendees 12 years and over to be double vaccinated with evidence supplied to New Wine as part of our registration system. This requirement will be updated to reflect current government requirements, however what is unchanging is if you are unwell please stay home.
Terms and Conditions are about making the event fun and safe for everyone. The deal is if you’re nice to yourself and your neighbours, our friendly stewards will be nice too. Here goes the fine print;
A responsible adult must accompany all children under 18 years of age. If the parent or caregiver isn’t accompanying the child complete this form here.

No, there will be no power or water for camping. We’re kiwi’s… we can tough it out (for one night!) and besides, New Wine has the cooking covered…. this is going to be an adventure!
Paraplegic facilities are available on these sites.
Sorry no…. but who needs to wash anyway during a 24hour Big Day Out.
We’ll have Stewards on hand to help you with this. This year we’ve got more camping field than we can possibly use, so will be running a freedom style camping site right in the middle of the festival grounds. You’ll be barely a stones throw from the heart of everything, which means all the camping cool cats will hang together.
You get a free tent site as part of your registration. It doesn’t matter if you camp on site or a take a holiday home off-site, the New Wine registration cost is the same.
Responsibility for your possessions rests with you. We suggest leaving valuables at home, use your car to lock valuables away or keep them on you.
Since we are providing food at this year’s festival, we’ve got you covered! No cooking facilities needed.
Festival prices for New Wine’s Big Day Out include food. The fare will be simple and good, but will only cater for gluten free. If you have dietary needs which are more complicated please bring additional goodies to supplement what New Wine provides.
