Events Happening in Hanmer

On every Saturday if weather permits The Market is run by the Amuri Community Arts Council. The site fees that stallholders pay are put to good use in this community, e.g. towards the Autumn School workshops. The community coordinator of the market this year is Charlotte Baldwin. Many of the stall holders have put many long hours into perfecting their crafts and producing their products. For some this is their only way they sell. If you are looking for a special something for yourself or as a present, this is an ideal place to find it – Christmas is not that far away! Many of the stallholders will also produce to order. There are 60 stallholders, some will be there weekly or monthly and some occasionally. So do come and view the market on a regular basis.

There are still some spaces left in the marathon and we still have spaces in the half marathon and 10km. Looking for marathon with a difference? Beginning from Lake Tennyson where you will be transported to by bus, high in the alpine environment of the St James following the Clarence River along quiet gravel roads, crossing Jacks Pass before descending to the picturesque village of Hanmer Springs. As you follow the roads down you will join the half marathon and 10km runners. This is a unique race through beautiful scenery. The preparation and planning of the transfers of the competitors is put down to a fine art. limited entries so register today www.hanmerevents.co.nz
