Sport’s over — time to
Despairing that there’s nothing to fill your days now the sporting utopia of the America’s Cup and Lions Tour has come to an end?
It’s time to get some arts and culture into your life.
In the weeks since late May hundreds of thousands of Kiwis were enthralled first by Team New Zealand’s exploits in Bermuda, and then the dramatic and controversial All Blacks test series against the British & Irish Lions.
Now it's time to put away the red socks, give your beloved All Black jersey a wash and cherish the memories — even if that might be difficult for rugby fans.
There’s no lack of upcoming events to entertain and add a taste of culture — and perhaps keep the kids busy for the last week of school holidays. The NZIFF gives Kiwis the chance to see some of the world’s biggest movies for the first time.
NZIFF has announced 21 offerings direct from the renowned Cannes Film Festival, as well as a number of Kiwi films by the likes of Toa Fraser. The festival will travel to 13 towns and cities.
Matilda The Musical will begin its much anticipated Auckland season on August 18.
It arrives in the country on the back of rave reviews around the globe, including from the Observer, which wrote: “It’s hard to imagine a show capturing the spirit of Roald Dahl’s literary world more perfectly than this one.”
School holidays have kicked off, meaning it’s time to put what work you can on the back burner and enjoy a break from the early morning rush.
It could be time to dust off your skis or get the kids involved in some long-awaited DIY.
Whatever activity you choose, enjoy the holidays while they last. There’s something for every food lover — of varying budgets — in Restaurant
Month, which will be held in Auckland in August.
Some of the city’s best restaurants and chefs have combined again for the annual food extravaganza. More than 100 restaurants are involved in the popular event.
