It graced the Eiffel Tower for the duration of the Rugby World Cup in Paris last year and next week the Giant New Zealand Rugby Ball will be touching down in Potters Field Park near Tower Bridge.
In situ for one week only between 25th Nov and 2nd Dec, the Ball will be open to the public free of charge for the majority of these days. Go along and enjoy a multi-media experience that showcases the multitude of delights New Zealand has to offer.
The ball will provide the venue for the pool draw for next IRB World Cup taking place in New Zealand in 2011, but you don't need to be a rugby fan to visit. Sound and vision presentations aim to transport visitors to the other side of the of the world to sample kiwi environments, from the momentuous landscapes to Maori culture. This includes performances from Maori Performing Arts & Education Company, Manaia. In the words of Ben Fogle, how cool is that?!
For further information about opening times, visit the Tourism New Zealand's website. This is really an experience not to be missed and with the winter chill setting in, this is the perfect chance to contemplate warmer climes. Brrr!!
