This extraordinary connection with Maori culture is still one of Surrey's hidden heritage surprises. Through the performance of traditional waiata and haka, this special festival event will celebrate contemporary and historic Maori music and dance with the London based Maori cultural group Ngati Ranana. Date: Sunday 17 March 2013 Time: 6.15pm Doors open - 6.45pm performance Venue: Clandon Park, West Clandon, Guildford, GU4 7RQ Tickets: £12 full/senior citizens £6 concessions
