Join The PumpHouse Community Choir

Gill Saker from The PumpHouse Theatre

This year, The PumpHouse’s annual Christmas Carols in the Amphitheatre will feature North Shore Chorale and our fledgling PumpHouse Community Choir.
As the name suggests, the community choir will be made up of locals - that’s you. If the last time you sang in a choir was at school and you fancy another go at it, or if you’re a secret shower singer and would like to share your unappreciated gift with the world then get in touch with us.

Absolutely anyone is welcome to join. You don’t need a trained voice. Our choir leader, Charlotte Nicklin will help you stay in tune. All you need to do is to come to rehearsals for a couple of weeks and be available to sing with the choir on December 18th.
Singing with others has proven health benefits, so it’s actually good for you to join us. Email julia@pumphouse.co.nz for more information.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
