Please mark Tuesday 12th December 5pm to 9pm on your calendar!
TAS Christmas Market – INSIDE the Otumoetai Sports & Recreation Club Building hall, Fergusson Park, Matua.

Christmas shopping? Bring the family along to our Christmas Market fundraiser. There will be a variety of market stalls including arts, crafts, gift cards, jewellery, candles, calendars, clothing, baby wear, garden art and much more!

The C4 Street Food and Espresso and El Cartel food trucks will be there with their great food, and we will be running our BBQ sausage sizzle.

This market is being held INSIDE the hall in the Otumoetai Sports & Recreation Club building so will go ahead regardless of the weather.

Weather permitting, telescope viewing may be possible from 9pm. Jupiter and Saturn will be well placed for viewing.

Please note that most of the market stalls will not have EFTPOS facilities so cash only please. Entry to the market is free.
