SPiCE Floral Carpet Festival NEW DATE Saturday 20 March from 2 - 4 pm in Sandringham Reserve!
Hurray for Alert Level 1 in Auckland!! We are now full steam ahead for our Floral Carpet Festival - back for its 5th year bigger and better than ever. Join us as we use thousands of marigolds to create a stunning carpet of flowers in a beautiful rangoli pattern in the middle of Sandringham Village. Take part in helping us set out the flowers, enjoy learning a traditional Indian dance, or get a henna tattoo. This is a free family event - all ages and people welcome to come and get involved!
RAIN DATE: Sunday 21 March, 2 pm to 4 pm
* Many thanks to local community gardens, Bharatiya Mandir ANVIRO Group and Sanctuary Mahi Whenua, for growing marigolds for us.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
