A Festival of Ideas is being held at Warkworth’s old Masonic Hall on Sunday, August 7 as part of the development of a new plan for the town centre (MM, Jul 18).
As well as speakers and panel discussions on how Warkworth should develop, there will be food, music and children’s entertainment from 2pm to 5pm.
The free event is being organised by Community Think, a community development collective contracted to work on the plan by Rodney Local Board, working together with Ngāti Manuhiri, Warkworth Library, Motu Design and a community guidance group.
Organisers say the event will be jam-packed with ideas and activities.
“Locals can pop down for a hot chocolate, some afternoon tea and a stroll through a Living Library, where local artists, planners and designers will inspire people to think about what future they want for the centre plan,” a spokesperson says. “A Wall of Ideas will come to life during the afternoon, through people sharing their vision.
“And we have kid’s entertainment sorted, with face painting, colouring in, roving entertainment and music.”
