Alberton Market Days are back!

Rendell McIntosh from Alberton

Its Alberton Market Day on Sunday! With 40 stalls of specialty produce, handmade goods and plants as well as street food by some of Auckland's top food vendors (Wise Boys Burgers, Bun Hun, Sabores, The Hungry Swine, Lulu’s Icecream), its going to be a cracker!

The vintage tearoom will be open and there will be plenty to entertain the young ones with Enchanted Walk fairy trail the garden, a fairy face-painter and a magic pebble painting activity.

Owairaka Eco Neighbourhoods will be showcasing some of their creative community projects and offering free seed planting for children. Pot a bee-friendly plant in an egg-carton cup to take away for your garden!

Live music by brother & sister duo Jasper & Jane Hawkins will create the summer soundtrack for the day. Make any purchase to be in to win a HUGE hamper of goodies donated to by all the stallholders!

Come along to enjoy the ambiance of the garden and beautiful heritage setting and support our great small entrepreneurs, makers and growers.

Alberton Market Day, Sunday 9 February 10-2pm, FREE ENTRY
