What exactly is 'Wheels at Wairarapa'?
‘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

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.

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)
.
