GT Members Gala 2026 – Sneak Peek 🥂

Celebrating the incredible community that is our Highlands GT Members!

For our 13th Annual GT Members Gala we held it at the new Te Puna Mahara - Cromwell Memorial Events Centre. A huge thank you to the Te Puna Mahara and Moreish kitchen teams for a fabulous evening.

The night was in great hands with Jess Yates as MC, with the beautiful sounds of violinist Hannah Fang setting the mood. Heather was back to present the ever-popular Highlands Wheelie Awards, before LA Social took to the stage and packed the dance floor to close out the night in true Highlands style.

Beautifully captured by Anda from Brandstories!

More to come from this special day and evening 👀
