Win a double pass to the Eden Park Art Tour! 🧑‍🎨

If you didn't know Eden Park was home to works from Jimmy James Kouratoras, Weston Frizzell, Tim Christie, Owen Dippie, and a wider collection of celebrated New Zealand artists - now you do! 🖼️

Once a month, a guided tour takes you through multiple levels of the stadium, experiencing Aotearoa’s culture, community, sporting legacy, and vibrant creative spirit 🏟️ It's a very unique side of the stadium most people never get to see on match day 🏉

The next Art Tour Date is Friday 10 April at 12pm 🗓️ Tell us who you'd bring for a chance of a double pass 🎫 Entries close Wednesday 5pm 💙

Fringe District Flashback 🕰️ SWIPE ⏩ Can you believe it has been 40 years since this photo was taken in 1986? 📸

Standing tall at 478 New North Road since 1911 - this Edwardian beauty served as the Kingsland Post Office and savings bank for nearly 80 years! 📮

These days the building is home to the creative legal minds at Dominion Law - right next door to our friends Tatty's Designer Recycle in Kingsland 👗

💙💙 A NEW CHAPTER FOR JAAN 💙💙 Kingsland’s favourite Turkish spot has undergone a stunning transformation 💎

If you’ve been a local for a while, you’ll likely know Jaan Mezze Lounge , but you might not recognise it now! 🤩 They’ve recently completed an extensive remodeling, and the result is an amazing, spacious, and bright interior with great views to match 🏙️ It’s the perfect mix of those familiar flavours you love with a completely fresh, modern vibe ✨

The biggest hidden gem has to be the huge downstairs garden bar 🌿 It’s a sun-soaked spot that gets plenty of afternoon light but is also protected from the weather, making it an easy choice for a relaxed drink or a big group dinner 🍹

On the menu, you’ll find authentic Turkish cuisine that’s designed for sharing 🤝 Start with their signature Bread ‘N’ Dips, which is a real specialty here, or the Dolmades - traditional vine leaves stuffed with Turkish rice and vegetables 🍇 If you’re after something unique, the Lahmajun is a must-try - it's a traditional Turkish pizza topped with lamb mince, Italian parsley, and a squeeze of juicy lemon 🍕

For those who want a bit of everything, the Mixed Grill from the chargrill is a standout, featuring free range lamb back straps, chicken breast, and authentic Turkish marination 🍖 They also have fantastic plant-based options like the Vegetarian Mussaka - a delicious layer of sautéed eggplant, courgette, and mushroom smothered in bechemel sauce 🍆
