Seaweek is being celebrated in style at Mahurangi East Library this week, with an evening of music, entertainment and refreshments on Friday, March 6, from 7pm.

The Mahurangi Seaweed Jade Ukes Crew will get things started with sea-inspired set of nautical-themed songs, then local wildlife photographer and campaigner Michele MacKenzie will share her portfolio of photos documenting local shorebird life, including a very special dotterel whanau that she has been safeguarding.

After a break for a light supper served by the Friends of Mahurangi East Library, there will be an open mic session by the Winter Words Group and friends, where all are welcome to share poems and writing on water and the sea.

Entry costs $5, which includes a free glass of wine – bring your own glass. Adults and teens only.
