Everything half price - 2 days only!
The jumble, dust and general havoc one tends to come across in standard antique stores is refreshingly absent at Northcote Point institution, Blikfang (Danish for "a trap for the eye"). We've sifted through the junk so you don't have to, curating a gallery-like space that prides itself on an assortment of objects and artwork, both fascinating and mysterious.
Everything is half price, Friday 13th and Saturday 14th July, 10am-4pm. Come into Blikfang Art and Antiques, 130 Queen Street, Northcote Point.
At Blikfang, antique mirrors reflect the silhouettes of sculptures, while contemporary New Zealand art, ceramics and graphics from the 50s and 60s are placed throughout. The space has energy too, host to a number of themed exhibitions every year. The "shock of the old set against the gleam of the new" is what will invite you to linger here for a while.
Auckland Harbour Bridge summer works
NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi is carrying out essential maintenance on the Auckland Harbour Bridge this December and January. The southbound clip-on lanes will be closed (24/7) from 26 December to 5 January for road resurfacing. Night-time lane restrictions will be in place throughout the summer for recoating work on the bridge. Traffic will still be able to travel in both directions at all times.
