We're extending an invite to all local growers, food producers and craftspeople to book a stall at our Harvest & Artisan Market.
We'd also love to hear from performers who can entertain our market-goers.
Contact our Market Organiser Amy Wood on a.wood@hdht.co.nz or 09 420 2628.
Our always popular Kids' Kitchen Classes are held during the market. There are three sessions at 9am, 10am and 11:30am. These classes fill quickly, so secure your child's spot early by emailing Chef Keryn at kitchen@thrivekaipara.org.nz. From ages 3+, $5 each.
Visit our Classes page for more information on these proposed courses. They will go ahead if there are enough students enrolled. So, please read the flyer and if you or someone you know might be interested contact Pip on 027 571 3848.
