It’s shap­ing up to be an inter­est­ing Wel­ling­ton week­end – sure when is one not, but mine is look­ing a little like this.

Open­ing Thursday and run­ning for about a month is Phantom of the Opera. I’m a music­al theatre nerd girl so I’m excited to see how it’s going to be staged as the pro­duc­tion design is mak­ing its inter­na­tion­al debut in Wel­ling­ton. Here’s a bit of a sneak peek into the pro­duc­tion setup. I’ll let you know how it looked from the seats next week.

Fri­day night you’ll find me at the Knack Even­ing Mar­ket. Knack has dis­covered a lot of people like shop­ping child-free so for winter they’ve whipped up some mulled wine and a knack-cessor­ies mar­ket. If you can­’t do Fri­day night knack , there is always Sat­urday 15 June, usu­al time 9.30 to 1.30pm. My hot tip – Smash Palace Jew­ellery is hav­ing a BIG Sale, selling last year’s stock at ridicu­lous prices. It all has to go, so come to the Knack Mar­ket at Ber­ham­pore School on Fri­day night and on Sat­urday for noth­ing over $10.

Sat­urday is the big new event in town Wel­ling­ton’s first vin­tage expo! Vin­tage-Orama is at Wel­ling­ton High School from 10am-5pm. Entry is $2 but once you get in, oh so many things to enjoy. As well as shop­ping (with vin­tage traders from around the coun­try, includ­ing Wel­ling­ton’s very pop­u­lar Steam­punk prin­cess Things Unseen )there will be first class pho­to­graph­ers, The Pamper Par­lour, work­shops and dance classes along with high tea, refresh­ments and on-stage per­form­ances to keep you enter­tained dur­ing the day. Plus dress to your vin­tage nines and you might score your­self a prize 😀
