It’s less than four weeks till New Zealand’s infamous annual Wildfoods Festival on the West Coast will take place, so it’s time to sort your Wildfoods Festival 2011 tickets, Hokitika accommodation and transport.

The theme of the Wildfoods Festival 2011 is ‘Where the Wild Things Are’ and on Saturday 12 March 2011 things will truly get wild. The huhu grub adventure starts off with the Wildfoods Concert at Cass Square on Friday 11 March featuring the headline act Beat Girls. The big Wildfoods Festival Day takes place on Saturday 12 March and the day will conclude with the Wildfoods Dance. But that’s not all. You can also check out the 2011 Wildfood Festival Markets Gibson Quay by the Riverside on Friday 11 March (5pm till 9pm), Saturday 12 March (9am till 9pm) and Sunday 13 March (9am till 2pm).

And why not travel to the 2011 Wildfoods Festival in style? Head to the festival’s official website to find out about the Wildfoods Express 2011. Celebration Class Railtours NZ Packages from Christchurch, for example, include your train ticket, breakfast and fingerfoods on the train, Hokitika transfers and of course your Wildfoods Festival admission. There’s also a New Zealand Wide Visitor Package which includes two nights’ accommodation in Christchurch plus all Celebration Class extras. On top of that, Interislander Ferries has wild deals for your journey from the North Island to the South Island.

So get in now to take advantage of those great packages, and then brave the wildest festival you’ve ever been to!
