Maintenance work on Eternal Flame

Published: 30 July 2024

Last Updated: 7 August 2024

Napier War Memorial Eternal Flame

The Napier War Memorial’s Eternal Flame requires work to upgrade the flame’s sensor probes, requiring temporary removal from its pedestal. At the same time, a new glass shroud will be installed around the flame’s housing on the pedestal, improving the safety of the flame.

While the work is being undertaken, the flame itself will be transferred to a candle and will be located inside the Napier War Memorial reception area. This holder has been specifically designed and manufactured for the purpose of allowing maintenance work on the flame. It is designed to keep the flame safely and continuously burning while also being on display.

The work will start on Wednesday 31 July and the flame is expected to be returned to its pedestal by Monday next week at the latest.
