Stuff To Do This Weekend

Umm yeah, a few things to do this weekend!


First off, sigh....Christmas Shopping. Might as well make it fun and support your local industries! There are a whole lot of craft markets on at this time of year and I've written up a list of all the ones happening this weekend. You're welcome!


Now, this next one I am very excited for ... Little Bushman are playing for free at the Wynyard Quarter on Saturday! Don't miss them, they are amazing live. 


While you're down there you can go check out the Margaret Mahy themed sandpit also at the Wynyard Quarter. Kids can dig up illustrated treasures and on Saturday there will be spot prizes. 


If you've got older kids you should also get down there on Friday night for the first of the Silo Sessions free outdoor movies. This weekend, Sione's Wedding is screening up on one of the silos at 9pm. There will also be stalls and street food on offer. 


Saturday is Love Your Mountain Day at Maungawhau/Mt Eden. Lots of free things organised for kids and a good chance to explore the maunga without any cars in the way. 


The Tamashii Drumming group are performing for free at the Auckland Art Gallery on Saturday. If you haven't taken your kids there yet, do it this weekend. It's surprisingly kid-friendly and a really beautiful space. 


The Teddy Bear's Picnic is on at Western Springs on Sunday from 11 - 4. It's a free event with lots of entertainment and activities planned. 


And if you feel like getting right out of the city this weekend, Outer Base is on at the Leigh Sawmill this Sunday at 3pm. It's totally free, it's totally kid-friendly and a good time. DJs, beats and a really nice vibe.
