Celebrate Matariki with Schoc and great local events!
Matariki is fast approaching and there are some amazing ways to celebrate right here in the Wairarapa!
Greytown's Schoc Chocolate have created a Matariki inspired chocolate block, reminiscent of smoky fire and kūmara. The story behind the creation lies in the tradition of coming together around bonfires just before dawn to witness the Matariki stars appear. This time is also important for reflection, making plans for the future and planting kūmara crops for the season ahead.
For more information and to taste for yourself, call in and see Murray and the team at Schoc Chocolate in Greytown between 10am and 4.30pm, Monday to Sunday.
Additional Matariki celebrations our members are hosting include:
- Ngā Haerenga/ Journeys – Celebrating Matariki at Aratoi
- Matariki Glow Show at the Carterton Events Centre
- Matariki and the Winter Solstice at Stonehenge Aotearoa
- Stargazing accelerator and Telescope course at Star Safari
- Featherston Matariki Evening Festival
- Festival of Christmas: Celebrate Matariki at Cobblestones

Poll: Should drivers retake the theory test every 10 years?
Drivers get where they need to go, but sometimes it seems that we are all abiding by different road rules (for example, the varying ways drivers indicate around a roundabout).
