A summer family picnic day will be held at the Orewa Reserve by the Orewa Surf Club, on Saturday, March 31, in what is set to become an annual event.

The day’s programme will include beach cricket, volleyball, a treasure hunt, pirate dress-up competition, entertainment and a lollie scramble.

The major sponsor is Smith & Sons. Hibiscus Coast franchise owner John Jensen says the idea is to create a local event that brings the community together.

“We hope locals will come along and join in, support the food vendors on site, and enjoy themselves,” he says.

“Summer is a great time on the Coast and Orewa is the perfect place to celebrate it.

The day will run from 10am to 3.30pm, and is being supported by Destination Orewa Beach.
