The Dell is a stage at 101 Glenmore Street in Kelburn, Wellington, set within the grounds of the Wellington Botanic Garden. The garden covers 25 hectares of specialised plant collections, colourful displays, protected native forest and views over the city, so the stage sits in a large green setting rather than on a city street. The garden's Treehouse Visitor Centre, the Cable Car and the Cable Car Lookout are all part of the same area, and the garden lists picnic areas, dog walking and guided walks among what it offers.
We hear the Begonia House floral displays and foyer are closed, and the Play Area has recently been upgraded, with dual flying foxes and slides, so check before you go if you are planning a visit with children. The garden is a short walk from the Kelburn village and Thorndon, which makes it easy to combine a performance with a stroll through the plantings beforehand.
