Former New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern had to endure protesters picketing outside the venue where she wed her partner, Clarke Gayford.

The anti-vaccination protesters gathered outside elite vineyard Craggy Range in Havelock North on Saturday, hoping to make a statement hours before the pair arrived.

Earlier, anti-vaccination protesters protesters gathered outside the venue, hoping to make a statement hours before the pair are arrived.

A lone male protester was the first to arrive at the elite venue, seen holding a sign reading: “Lest we forget jab mandates”. 

The man was seen walking up and down the road in front of the extensive property on New Zealand’s north island earlier on Saturday.

A group of four women were then seen in the area ahead of the wedding, one carrying a sign that read “This s— is bananas” while another carried a boombox spouting anti-vaccination material. 

One of the women was then seen carrying the earlier “lest we forget” banner next to the country road, showing drivers passing by. 

The group then set up outside the gates with dozens of corflute signs containing anti-vaccination material.
