Fresh produce, handmade crafts, street food or just a browse? There’s a market for you.
From the long-running Takapuna Sunday Market at Waiwharariki Anzac Square to the artisan goods at Smales Farm, the buzzing Glenfield Night Market and the midweek Highbury Night Market in Birkenhead, there’s something on every weekend (and some weeknights) across Birkenhead, Takapuna, Glenfield, Milford and beyond.
