Eat Drink and Be Crafty
This popular annual event is being held again on Saturday 28 January 2023, from 10am to 4pm and run by The Lions Club of Mana.
Enjoy the very best of locally-made crafts, artisan food, and refreshments in a lovely rural setting at the Eat Drink and Be Crafty Fair. There will also be a live band and plenty of entertainment for all ages – it’s sure to be a great family day out everyone.
EFTPOS is now available at Battle Hill Farm. We will still, however, have an EFTPOS facility on the day supplying cash for those fair goers requiring it.
The proceeds from the day will support Wellington Free Ambulance and local Porirua Community Charities.
Admission: Gold coin donation
Where: Greater Wellington’s Battle Hill Farm Forest Park, 608 Paekakariki Hill Road, Porirua, Wellington
