Greenhithe Community Hall
7 Greenhithe Rd

Auckland

Free entry

It’s that time of year to sort through your crafting stash, decide what you are really not going to use and bring it along to find a new home with someone who will love it. Any crafting materials are welcome.

Or, come along and grab some bargains to enhance your stash to create just what you really want.

Everything is less than retail price.

Great bakery opposite for coffee and food or pop into Collins Cafe for a lovely lunch with friends after shopping.

Please leave the parking at the hall for those less physically mobile. Do NOT park in front of the Fire Station as it is a volunteer Fire Brigade and the parking is for fire fighters if they are called out.

To book a table please complete the booking form which can be found HERE
