Mark your calendars and book your places — an exciting series of activities, events and workshops are coming up in Selwyn this winter.

From Matariki kete weaving workshops and community garden open days, to a short story competition, men’s mental health presentation, bonsai tree workshops and sports centre classes, there is something for everyone to enjoy.

The activities are included in the Council’s ‘What’s On in Selwyn Winter 2023’ brochure, which can be found online or picked up from Council facilities.

The events kick off from 1 June, with an adult short story competition. Participants will be invited to submit their unpublished story to a panel for judging, with the winner and runner-up being announced in late August. There’ll be sport, a sausage sizzle and lots of fun on the new bike snake track on 11 June when Prebbleton’s Kakaha Park officially opens on the corner of Leadleys and Birchs Road.

Meanwhile, a wild herbal winter drink workshop on 22 June will be an opportunity for attendees to learn recipes and preparation methods for making drinks from wild foraged herbs. Exciting recreation activities and timetables, pool, group fitness as well as Selwyn Libraries offerings are also included in the brochure.
