Marlborough Mile

The Marlborough Mile, when completed, will form roughly a 'mile long' pedestrian walking circuit that will use interactive designs, sculptures, art and landscaping to physically connect a series of public spaces and key sites in Blenheim town centre. At each stop along the way, there will be features that could include sculpture, play elements, information etc, that showcase a key element of local industries - from aviation and farming to aquaculture and wine-making. It will also provide a platform to tell our unique history and celebrate our tangata whenua.

Why do we need it?

The Marlborough Mile project was conceived in response to this critique and provides an opportunity for Marlburians to re-engage with the town centre in a new way, offering new and different reasons to come to town, while at the same time increasing the visibility of the amazing history, industries, cultural influences that make Marlborough what it is today.
