The Heart of the Holiday: Our Christmas Market

Few things capture the magic of the season quite like a festive Christmas market, and our villages are alive with holiday cheer as traditional markets fill the lounges. At Remuera Gardens, residents were enchanted by a wonderful array of treats, including homemade chocolates, Christmas puddings, and homemade jams and pickles that filled the room with the promise of festive joy.

Residents also enjoyed the chance to shop for their loved ones, choosing from a charming selection of toys for grandchildren, stylish clothing, elegant handbags, and stunning pieces of jewelry to treat themselves or share as special gifts.

Christmas is a cherished time in our villages, bringing families and friends together through festive markets, lively Christmas quizzes, and, of course, our much-anticipated traditional Christmas functions.

Check out these delightful snapshots from the market!

“I’ve never had a moment’s doubt about my decision to move to Epsom Village.” Like Karen, so many of our residents are so happy with their new lifestyle that they don’t want to keep it to themselves. As a proud New Zealand family-owned village, we offer a level of care, warmth, and personal connection that big corporate operators simply can’t replicate. With only 90 residents, Epsom Village is intimate, charming, and distinctive — a place with real character and soul.
