Wellington Regional Annual Folk festival – 60th Anniversary
Friday 24 October to Monday 27 October – Labour Weekend
Three days of folky musical fun. There’ll be singing, dancing, concerts, workshops, the Village Green Stalls, and lots of opportunities to participate in open mics, jams and sing around sessions. You can camp onsite for the weekend or treat it as a day or evening outing. All concerts and workshops will be in buildings or marquees. Food and drinks will be available as a modest but wholesome menu.
So come and get your wild on Wellington! Try something different and go off-grid for the long weekend. There is something for everyone. Build memories and immerse yourself in the joy of it all with your friends and whanau.
Friday 24 October to Monday 27 October – Labour Weekend
At the Brookfields Outdoor Education Centre, Moore’s Valley, Wainuiomata
For more info, look at wellingtonfolkfestival.org.nz. Tickets available from Humanitix or at the gate. No charge for children aged 12 or younger (but they need to be accompanied by a responsible adult who will need a ticket).

Rainbow Wellington October Social Mixer

Join us for our monthly mixer at Southern Cross Garden Bar from 5:30pm Friday 10th October.

This is a great way to meet other LGBTQ+ people from around Pōneke. Make new friends, or meet up with old mates.

This is a free event, at one of our regular venues, who are always happy to host LGBTQ+ events.

The ground floor of the venue is accessible, but quite skinny. There are stairs to a downstairs area. The nearest mobility car parks are on Bute Street near Z Energy petrol station
