Antiques for all in Matakana this Easter

Matakana School hall will be crammed with collectables this Easter weekend, when a two-day fundraising Antique Fair is held on Saturday, March 31 and Sunday, April 1.

There will be at least 10 dealers selling a wide range of china, linen, glassware, jewellery, small furniture, tools, and other vintage and retro items.

Entry is by gold coin donation and money raised will go towards new wi-fi speakers for the school’s recently formed Glee Club. School relations administrator Kim Scott says the new group is made up of Year 5 and 6 students who are passionate about the performing arts.

“They are currently working towards their first performance, which will involve an upbeat mixture of song and dance,” she says. “The speakers purchased with the Antique Fair funds will be a great asset to help with performances.”

A similar event held last year raised money for an air conditioning unit for the school’s Arts Hub.

The Antique Fair will be open from 10am to 5pm both days.
