Family Fete at Cobblestones!

Sara Renall from

Cobblestones is delighted to be running their annual fete once again. Join the team for a fun old-fashioned family day out to enjoy spring in the Wairarapa!

Saturday 8 October, 10.30am until 3pm

Country in style the fete will have old fashioned games, tug o'war, country crafts, afternoon teas, BBQ Sausages, scones, ice creams and more. Meet the lambs and watch the sheep being shorn the way early settlers did it with hand clippers. Get your new plants for the garden from Cobblestones gardeners, knock the coconuts off their stand at the coconut shy or ride the fire engine from the Town Hall. Plus so much more! Visit their Facebook page for more details:

Entry is by donation. Please bring cash for the café and the stalls.
