What’s on: Tauranga May/June
Welcome to our blog that keeps you up to date with what’s happening in the city! This month we have a couple of quirky activities as well as all the expos that seem to come with Winter!
Here’s what’s on:
Paintvine
Looking for something a bit more quirky to do on your travels? Then we have the thing for you! Paintvine is a social painting class where our artists will run you through step-by-step instructions on how to create your very own masterpiece in a fun and relaxed bar in Mt Maunganui. Perfect for dates, catching up with mates or for meeting new friends. Paintvine provides all the materials you need (high-quality canvas, acrylic paint, brushes). All you need to bring is your creative spirit (or find some at the bottom of a glass). At the end of the night you will leave with your own painting ready to hang up on your wall!
Running on the 29th of May (painting the Scream) and the 11th (painting the Mount) and only $45 dollars, don’t miss out on this opportunity to mingle, drink and get creative!
Landslide – Fleetwood Mac & Stevie Nicks Tribute Show
Couldn’t afford the hundred dollar tickets to see the real thing? Then we have the solution for you! Catch this live 5 piece band, who have been celebrating the music of Fleetwood Mac and Stevie Nicks all over the North Island for the past 6 years. They will be covering well-known classics from Fleetwood Mac as well as Stevie’s solo hits – with a small added light show to make you feel like you are in the concert in a more intimate setting (and with cheaper drinks).
