Get ready for the Bookshop Hop this weekend!
The best booksellers in Wairarapa have come together to give you the ultimate book-lovers weekend out! Friday 6 to Sunday 8 October 2023 - it's the WAIRARAPA BOOKSHOP HOP!
Collect the map from any of the 13 participating bookstores in Wairarapa. For each store you visit & make a purchase from on the day, you'll receive a stamp on your map. Each stamp gives you an additional entry into the grand prize draw for $650 worth of bookshop vouchers - $50 from every participating store!
One of the (many) great things about Wairarapa is that we have 13 bookshops all within about 30 minutes drive of one another, so it's entirely possible for you to hop around all 13 bookshops if you feel so inclined!
It's the first event of its kind in New Zealand, thanks to organiser Millie Blackwell of Mrs Blackwell's Village Bookshop in Greytown. She was inspired by an event she'd participated in while living in California where knitting stores get together for a Yarn Store Hop every spring. Millie says, "Like readers, knitters love variety and the chance to visit a collection of stores with other knitters creates a really fun day with lots of happy energy."

Mitre 10 $20 Store Card Boxing Day Promotion
If you shopped at Mitre 10 Masterton on Boxing Day, redeemed a Mitre 10 Gift Card, but was refused a $20 Store Card for every $100 spent, contact Mitre 10 Customer & Store Support at customersupport@mitre10.co.nz.
Mitre 10 Masterton staff misinterpreted the promotion’s terms & conditions, as can be seen in the screenshot of the email I received in response to my query after my partner redeemed a $200 Mitre 10 Gift Card and was told she was ineligible for two $20 Store Cards
