20 Apr 2017
The DHL New Zealand Lions Series will be held in New Zealand from 1 June to 8 July 2017.
The Ministry for Culture and Heritage, with other agencies, is coordinating events and experiences to give the anticipated 20,000 Lions fans, visiting from the UK, a taste of New Zealand culture - beyond the rugby fixtures. The visitors will be looking to do/see/experience things as they travel so the more variety of high quality experiences offered, while they are planning their visit, the better.
