Janine from Hurunui District

THE SPOTSWOOD HALL COUNTRY MARKET IS ON AGAIN ON SATURDAY 20 NOVEMBER FROM 10AM TO 2PM. Our venue is located in the rural settlement of Spotswood approximately 10 minutes north of Cheviot on State Highway One. We're also heading OUTDOORS for our Saturday 20 November Market and have some top quality stalls for you to browse and pick up some fantastic Christmas gifts for those hard-to-buy-for family members and friends. Our Market is relaxed and friendly with a great atmosphere and stalls include collectables, books, repurposed homewares, preserves, arts and crafts, plants, fabulous hats for men, women and children, concrete garden ornaments, room perfumery, lingerie, locally produced hand-dyed wool, perfumed soy melts .... and heaps more. You'll also be able to sustain yourself with a delicious coffee from the Number Eight Cafe coffee truck along with something delicious to eat if you're feeling peckish. Lots of handy parking and free entry to this indoor and outdoor market.

See you there!!

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
