Anzac Day

Anzac Day

There are opportunities across the motu for the public to come together to mark Anzac Day this year.

National Anzac Day events include the Dawn Service at 6.00am and the National Commemorative Service at 11.00am (both at Pukeahu National War Memorial Park, Wellington), and the Atatürk Memorial Service at 2.30pm in Strathmore, Wellington. The Dawn Service and National Commemorative Service will be broadcast live by TVNZ 1 and RNZ National.

For those wanting to join the Anzac Day parade at the Dawn Service, veterans are asked to assemble on Tasman Street by 5.30am.

The Atatürk Memorial Service in Strathmore will include a wreath-laying ceremony. A shuttle service will be running from Bowes Crescent carpark to the memorial site for anyone who may require assistance accessing the site.

For more information about Anzac Day, visit the Manatū Taonga Ministry for Culture and Heritage website or see the Pukeahu National War Memorial Park Facebook page.

Homemade Pasta Lessons

Michele from Broadmeadows

Making pasta is one of life’s great pleasures or piacere soddisfazione – feeling of happiness or enjoyment. It’s like baking bread or making your favourite dish from scratch, but making pasta for the first time can be tricky so I am inviting you to come to my home in Wellington, New Zealand, with up to 3 others to learn my way of making pasta.

We will make Spaghetti Bolognese and Spinach and Ricotta Ravioli and as an option we can also make that irresistible Italian dessert Tiramisu.

Lessons are great for Mother/Daughters/Sons, birthday events or just doing something a bit different with your good friends.

The cost is $40 per person and an extra $5 per person if you would like to make Tiramisu.

All ingredients are provided, you will eat what you make, and you can take home any left overs.

Classes can be held in the evenings or on the weekends. Classes can take around 3-4hrs.
For larger groups I am happy to come to your kitchen for an extra fee.

Please message me for more information and to make a booking. You will love it !!
