Matariki ki Sandringham
Ka Titiro ki Ngā Whetū
1pm-5pm Sunday 12 July 2026
Sandringham Community Centre
Join us for a warm and creative Matariki celebration for tamariki and whānau, centred around connection, and shared experience.
Through hands-on art-making, weaving and creative activities, we invite you to reflect, create and connect with the themes of Matariki.
The afternoon will include creative activities for tamariki and harakeke weaving with Whaea Jo, offering opportunities to share stories, wishes and ideas inspired by the season.
The event will conclude with delicious kai, bringing everyone together in a relaxed and welcoming environment.
This is a welcoming, community-focused experience designed especially for all who are interested in Matariki and wish to celebrate it. Stay for the whole event or just pop in when you can. Nau mai, haere mai.
This event is led by the wonderful team at Pohū Arts, in collaboration with SPiCE and Sandringham Community Centre.
A huge thanks to the Albert-Eden Local Board for funding this kaupapa!
