‘Wheels’ is a festival of all things on wheels from the past to the present including tractors, cars, farm machinery, steam-powered tractors – in the spacious setting of Clareville’s Showgrounds, Carterton this weekend.

See rare and private collections of fascinating vehicles and machinery, beautifully restored to their original working condition. It's an affordable day out for families with ticket priced for adults $15 per day, youths (5-15 yrs) $5 per day, and under 5 yrs are free.

Each day there's an action-packed programme of events in the arena, with all manner of weird and wonderful pieces on show that our ancestors once depended upon. Steam engines are always a jaw-dropping sight, and the Clydesdale horse carriage rides are a hit with kids! Check out the full programme here and the range of ticket options here.

It's on from Saturday to Monday, 10am - 4pm each day. Highlights for each day are:

• Saturday - vintage and modern cars, and motorbikes
• Sunday - vintage, classic, and new trucks
• Monday - agricultural machinery demonstrations and 'on farm' equipment

This is a three-day event, so come along and wander around and soak up the atmosphere. You'll be amazed at what you'll see there. Free all-day parking, entertainment, food and drinks available.

Text/phone me on 0274667123 if you'd like to improve musculo-skeletal function, i.e. posture, coordination, breathing, etc.
Feldenkrais lessons use movement and thinking (not stretching and strengthening) to bring attention to, and change, your movement patterns. Release the tense habits which interfere with comfortable, efficient movement.

The Friends of the Wellington Botanic Garden have great pleasure in welcoming our inaugural Artist in Residence, Hannah Schickdanz to the Wellington Botanic Garden.

Hannah is a fine artist, illustrator and designer who will be resident in the Treehouse between 1 Feb to 1 April 10.30—3pm Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

She says, “I am interested in the meanings humans read into images. My paintings - whether still life or figurative - play with a make-believe mythology. Memories, objects, and stories handed down from parents and grandparents — or handed up from my children — feature alongside woven and collected natural materials foraged during half-remembered summer holidays”.

The sights and smells of nature during summer and autumn always make her creative sap rise. She says “What a treat to be working in the Gardens amongst such a well of inspiration at this time of year!"

Hannah is looking forward to meeting you at the Treehouse. All art work is for sale with a portion of the sale going towards various Friends projects.

Art classes will also be available – watch this space for further details
