Highbury House is delighted to be part of the Birkenhead Point Gateway Walk which is a self-guided loop walk taking you past local heritage homes and buildings. Drop by and read our new sign where you can learn all about our beautiful historic villa and its fascinating history of being Birkenhead's first police station from 1905 to 1969. Did you know that we still have the original jail cells out the back?

Highbury Community House was delighted to host a Pink Ribbon Morning Tea on 6th June 2026 to help fund breast cancer education, patient support, research, and advocacy in New Zealand. It was truly touching to see so many of our community come together to support this great cause and hear women share their stories. Their strength was an inspiration to all. We raised over $1500 for Breast Cancer Foundation NZ. Set to become an annual event at Highbury House.

Bring your items for repair, plus enjoy a hot drink and some baking and connect with others!
