Fancy dress competitions, music from White Chapel Jak and professional skateboarders are some of the highlights in store at the Warkworth School Fiesta on March 24, from 3pm to 7pm.

There will be a Mexican food theme with pulled-pork tacos and nachos, washed down with non-alcoholic sangria and mojitos. Plenty of traditional hearty fare will complement the hot spice, including sausages from Warkworth Butchery.

Summer Sessions apparel shop in Warkworth will bring in professional skateboarders for a demonstration on a purpose-built ramp. For those who prefer a more relaxing pace, high tea will be served all day in the hall.

Acoustic covers trio White Chapel Jak will be on stage from 5pm to 7pm, following their on-tour performances alongside Ben Harper and Bonnie Tyler.

The usual tempting plethora of auctions, games, bric-a-brac, toys, spot prizes, and lucky dips will also be available. Organisers are encouraging the wider community to come along and help top the $26,000 raised last year, which was for additional shade sails.
