Cardboard Kingdom at Eastern Beach tomorrow!
Step into a world where your imagination rules at the Cardboard Kingdom.
A playful, hands-on event to build, create and explore with giant boxes.
Towers, tunnels, rockets, cat beds, castles—anything is possible when curiosity and creativity are in charge! With plenty of boxes and space to construct (and de-construct), tamariki can bring their ideas to life.

Location & Access: Held at Eastern Beach Reserve, the site is accessible for prams and wheelchairs. Street parking is nearby, and public transport stops within walking distance.

Poll: Are you still heading to your local for your caffeine fix, or has the $$ changed your habits? ☕
