The Mt Eden Village Craft Market is here on the second Saturday of every month. On Saturday 9th February, pop in from 10.00am to 4.00pm. The Market took a break in January so it will be great to have everyone back with interesting stalls to browse. A feature of the Market is that items are handmade in New Zealand by expert crafters. It’s a great opportunity to support local artists and find loads of beautiful handmade treasures and tasty treats, perfect for yourself or to gift.
Coffee with a Cop will be here on Thursday 14th February from 10.00am to 12.00noon. Pop in and have a chat to our local Community Police Officer, they would love to meet you and talk about what is going on in your neighbourhood.
Our regular Mt Eden Wellbeing Market is here on the last Saturday of every month. This month it is Saturday 23rd February from 10.00am to 3.00pm. Central Auckland’s regular monthly mind, body and spirit Market has natural health therapies, advice and nutritional support, on-site massage, natural first aid kits and home remedies and much, much more.

We are counting down to our much loved Little Day Out free family fun day on Saturday 2 March. Events and workshops run from 10.00am to 1.00pm and the ever popular pony rides are back. From bubbles to face painting, a weird and wonderful animal farm to kids flea market, and food stalls for sustenance, this is a highlight in every child’s calendar.
