Arts in Park returns to Taumata

The very popular Arts in Park is returning to Eltham's Taumata Park.

Jewellery, woodcraft, honey products, knitwear, garden and decorative art are just some of the stalls that will be featuring at this year's event.

South Taranaki District Council events coordinator, Jody Bloor, says Taumata Park will have a festival atmosphere as the artists and craftspeople display their creations throughout.

The park comes alive with arts and crafts people and their creations spread throughout it. It's a thrill to be able to see the artworks being created as well as linger with those pieces on display and perhaps purchase something for home or as a gift says Jody. For the kids, there will be a bouncy castle, pony rides and face painting.

People can grab a coffee or a bite to eat while they are there with cupcakes and a barbecue just some of the items on the menu, she says.
