12th-15th September

Mini Variety Bash

Tutukaka Green

At the heart of Variety’s fundraising efforts is the very unique Variety Bash® - a mad-cap adventure full of eccentric vehicles, unusual characters and heart-felt philanthropy the Variety Bash travels hundreds of kilometres every year raising funds, distributing grants and telling the Variety story.

Bashers drive an eclectic range of ‘older’ vehicles (preferably pre-1970), many of which have been specially customised to ‘reflect their team's personality’ but even if you don’t have access to a vehicle you may still be able to join in the fun as ‘crew’.
