ANZAC DAY PROGRAMME

PARKING/ROAD CLOSURES

ART EXHIBITION
​
STEAM TRAIN TICKETS

This is the final year of the official 5-year commemoration of World War 1, and we plan to make  this year’s ANZAC service the pinnacle event, with a re-enactment of our local soldiers' ‘Homecoming’ in 1919. 

​We want to ensure our ANZAC Day service is one to be remembered. We hope that this event will commemorate the end of WW1 with a renewed understanding of the loss of war and sense of gratitude to our local soldiers for their sacrifice.  

So it will be “All Aboard!” on 25th April for a steam train  excursion, from Feilding to Halcombe, for our spectacular ANZAC parade and service, with war memorabilia on display and an art exhibition in the Halcombe Memorial Hall.  
STEAM TRAIN TICKETS - STILL AVAILABLE!
Train tickets are $30 each and you can reserve yours by contacting Jeannette at 06 328 8647 or send an email to halcombe.community@gmail.com. Train tickets are also on sale at the Feilding Information Centre.

Halcombe and its community.

Halcombe is situated 12 km north west of Feilding, and 4 km east of the Rangitikei River, in the Manawatu region of New Zealand. Once the main railway junction in the central North Island and destined to grow into a major township before development shifted to Palmerston North, today Halcombe is a small but thriving rural settlement with over 500 residents. Included in the wider Halcombe district are the communities of Stanway, Tokorangi, and Kakariki.

Central to the village area is the historic war memorial, a tavern, cafe, Memorial Hall, public domain, playground,  volunteer Fire and Emergency brigade, Taumata o te Ra Marae, Halcombe Playcentre, and Halcombe School.
The surrounding farmland is predominately used for a variety of livestock farming and cropping, with an increasing number of lifestyle blocks.

The Halcombe community is strong and growing. Residents are drawn to the rural lifestyle and "village atmosphere" of Halcombe and enjoy living in this vibrant, caring community. Halcombe gives residents the benefit of a rural lifestyle with an easy commute to Feilding, Palmerston North and Ohakea.
