2012 was, as promised, bigger and better than 2011.
More stalls increased visitors made for a very successful event in 2012. Parking improvements went better than we thought possible, so well done to Mana LIONS. After the fantastic success of 2012′s Eat, Drink & Be Crafty we are going for the hat trick of events with the date for next year as 26th January 2013.
Kids games were well received. The idea was for the kids to have some fun while Mum and Dad browsed but it was soon noted that some Mum’s and Dad’s couldn’t wait to jump round in a sack. Adults joining in the games only added to the family feel. Mum still enjoyed a leisurely browse at our superb selection of New Zealand made handcrafts, leaving the old fella to taste a few specialty beers and check out the music.
There is something for the whole family at Eat, Drink & Be Crafty so get 26 January 2013 in the diary and get along for the day! Eftpos available.
Just a 5 minute drive from the lovely Pauatahanui Village, there is loads of parking on site, just bring along some gold coins to drop in the bucket for Life Flight.
