Get the family involved this summer

Hamilton Gardens Art Festival

Hi locals! Looking for something to do with your kids this summer? The Hamilton Gardens Arts Festival has something to offer everyone – even the littlest of festival-goers.

The weekends are full of great kids’ events, from a toddler boogie and princess sing-along to the Family Fun Day on Saturday 23 February. Bring a picnic or grab something from one of our food trucks, and settle in for a day of free children’s films, a ukulele jam, and of course the classic teddy bear’s picnic.

We’d love to see you there!

Festival Co-Directors

Poll: Do you think a partial demolition is the right call?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

One of the most recognisable buildings at Waikato Diocesan School for Girls could be demolished, except for part of the façade.

The school is asking for resource consent to knock down most of the earthquake-prone Cherrington House as part of plans to build a larger, safer administration block.

The opportunity to www.waikatotimes.co.nz...
|get up close to an 11-month-old tiger cub|, a porcupine, a tuatara or the siamangs could be the perfect Christmas stocking fillers.

The Hamilton Zoo already offers encounters with macaws, tigers, ring-tailed lemurs and rhinos, however soon the others will be on offer.

Poll: Have you ever had someone steal your fruit or veg?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Greedy thieves have plundered a Hamilton community garden leaving angry growers without their own spuds to boil on Christmas Day.

Two women laden with produce from “all over the garden” were confronted last week by Fairfield Project gardens co-ordinator Graeme Richer.
