Tea & Talk: Bob Penniket, Museum Curator & Keen Naturalist

Thu 08 May 2025, 10:00 PM - 11:00 PM

The Parry Kauri Park, Tudor Collins Drive, Warkworth 0910

Join Sue Wynyard and Andrew Penniket as they share stories and insights about their dad, Bob Penniket.


A long term resident of Mahurangi and Warkworth, Bob was a keen naturalist , local historian and one of the founders of the Warkworth and Districts Museum.


He designed the original building and was curator from 1980 to his death in 1990.


When not setting up the museum he was often seen scouring the beaches with his wife Thora, searching for shells for his nationally significant collection.


Their legacy lives on in many of the items and displays to be seen in the museum today.


Entrance: $10
