Members of the Taranaki Symphony Orchestra will be playing in the Tupare Gardens this weekend as part of the Garden Festival.
The forecast is for a lovely sunny weekend so this is a wonderful opportunity for the whole family to spend an hour or two wandering around a fabulous garden and to hear some beautiful music - all for free.
The icing on the cake (pun intended) is that members of the orchestra are providing tea, coffee and home made cakes at a very nominal charge.

For the month of November, we want to raise awareness and work together to end all forms of violence including family harm, elder and child abuse, sexual assault, gang violence, and more. These victimisations affect us all and can have lasting effects that spill into our everyday lives including at work and school.

To do your part this month, perhaps consider supporting a women’s refuge or work with Police in your area to host an info night on how to identify elder or child abuse in your community. This month’s campaign also coincides with White Ribbon Day on 25 November which is an internationally celebrated day that aims to prevent violence towards women.

Let us know how you’re spreading the ‘It’s Not OK’ message in your home or in your community by tagging us in your posts + using the following hashtag so we can see what you get up to:
