Make Wairarapa plans for Father's Day this weekend.
Let's hear it for Dads and other neat father figures. Let's forgive him for the dodgy jokes during the year and make Sunday 3rd September 2023 a day that's all about him.
What would Dad like? We've rounded up delicious specials and fun times on offer for Dad with lunches, roasts, dinners, Drag Races and Brewery fun. Also on over the weekend is Jazz in Martinborough - check out the cool pop up gigs on around the village.
Choose a locally grown plant or tree for Dad from the sale on this Saturday at the Wairarapa Farmer's Market Plant & Tree Sale. Or get Dad a ticket for Wings over Wairarapa - he'd love that. Head to either the Masterton or Martinborough isite Visitor Centre for Wings tickets - we're here to help.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
