OUR LOCAL BUSINESS MAP
Raglan is known for its creativity and artistic flair, and you’ll be spoilt for choice when you’re in town for RAW, or at any other point during the year. RAW would not be possible without the generous support from the businesses listed here on this page. Pay it forward and pop into these Raglan gems to show your support for them too!
GALLERIES & DESIGN STORES
For a small town, Raglan is jampacked with creative gems. We may be a little biased, but we believe this curated list of Raglan’s galleries, design and art stores are the very best that Raglan has to offer. If you only have time for one place, we wouldn’t miss Tony Sly’s warehouse workshop in the newly renovated and stylish Wharf location. Tony’s superb craftmanship with clay is well known and he has become one of NZ’s best loved potters. Otherwise, pop past the two galleries, showcasing a wide range of both local and NZ artworks from emerging and established artists, or purchase a special piece from one of our art stores before heading home.
EXPERIENCES
Get amongst it with a whole range of activities for the more adventurous. From installations and immersive art experiences to performing arts by Freedom2Fly and even a Country and Blues music festival over RAW, we have you covered! Or learn a new skill on workshops being run by our local artists year-round.
THE ESSENTIALS
If you’re in need of a comfy place to stay, look no further than this section! Our two main accommodation providers have been loyal supporters of our RAW events for many years, digging deep to support us even when times are tough. They would be the ultimate hosts! iHub is Raglan’s visitor information site and has some awesome tips to make your stay even more enjoyable.
