Life Flight

Entry to the Airbase is by koha – meaning give what you can. There will be collection buckets on entry with all proceeds going to Life Flight. There will also be opportunities throughout the event to donate if you wish, and cash facilities available once inside.

There will be ample seating available, including indoor seating in one of three hangars.

The Life Flight Airbase is at 17 George Bolt Street, Rongotai, Wellington (behind the Warehouse Lyall Bay). There is free parking nearby, however we do expect up to 5,000 attendees on the day. Alternatively, you can take the number 3 bus and get off at stop ‘Airport Retail Park’ (opposite).

Life Flight is committed to providing an accessible and welcoming experience for attendees with specific requirements or additional needs, including an accessible bathroom. If you need assistance on the day, please seek out one of the friendly team who will be in high-vis.

Absolutely! Life Flight prides itself on creating a fun family friendly atmosphere, geared at all ages and demographics. There are activities for kids of all ages as well as facilities for parents with young children (breastfeeding room and changing stations).

The event will still take place in rainy conditions as a majority of the entertainment and food will be undercover in our hangers. However, a cyclone or major weather event may cause disruptions so keep an eye on our event page.

For everyone’s comfort and safety, only service dogs are allowed at this event. That means if your dog is a trained service dog, they’re very welcome to attend with you!

For all other furry friends, this is a humans-only occasion.

Life Flight are committed to reducing waste at Open Day. We encourage all attendees to bring their own water bottles and reusable cups – there will be several water refill stations available. We will provide rubbish and recycling stations around the event and will be working with stallholders to reduce the volume of problematic packaging and materials brought into Open Day.
