Sunday Soul at Lava Glass - An Autumn Afternoon of Grooves, Art & Good Vibes

Join us for a relaxed and soulful afternoon in the Lava Glass Sculpture Garden. On Sunday, 8 March 2026, from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM, our garden will come alive with the smooth, funky sounds of Hot Tub - Taupō’s very own soul-funk band.

Set 10 km from Taupō, Lava Glass offers the perfect escape - a place where art, nature, and music come together. Surrounded by more than 600 glass sculptures, you can unwind and soak up the rhythm of live music in our arty oasis.

Make It a Feast for the Senses

Complete your afternoon with a delicious platter from the Lava Glass Café, made for two to share and packed with fresh, local flavours. Each platter includes:
