Shop Local, Dine Local, Celebrate Dad!

Father’s Day is this Sunday, 7 September, and it's the perfect chance to celebrate the dads, grandads, and the father figures in your lives. Many Warkworth businesses have Father’s Day specials on offer, so whether it’s a gift, a family meal, or simply a coffee together, I encourage you to keep it local. Supporting our shops, cafés, and restaurants not only makes the day special but also helps keep our town thriving. Looking ahead, we’ve got two important dates in the diary for Warkworth: Auckland Mayoral Candidates 2025 Debate – Wednesday 10 September, Warkworth Town Hall, 5.30pm for a 6pm start Local Board Candidates 2025 – Wednesday 17 September, Back Bar at the Warkworth Bridgehouse, 5.30pm for a 6pm start These are valuable opportunities to hear directly from those standing, ask questions, and get a better sense of who you want representing our area. With the growth and change we’re experiencing in Warkworth, it’s vital to have strong voices at the table. And finally – have you noticed it? A hint of spring is in the air. The days are a little brighter, and there’s a bit more energy around town. Let’s carry that momentum forward by continuing to support each other, buy local, and keep Warkworth strong.

🧡 Note of appreciation from the Warkworth Information Centre Manager Our volunteers are the heart of the Warkworth Information Centre, and I couldn’t be prouder of the kindness, knowledge, and dedication they bring to our community every day. They don’t just help visitors find their way or recommend places to explore. More often than not, they go the extra mile — quite literally! Whether it’s staying late to assist a lost traveller or dropping everything to help someone catch their bus just in time, our team constantly shows that small-town hospitality is alive and well in Warkworth. To each of our volunteers: thank you for the quiet, generous work you do. It doesn’t go unnoticed. — Alison Hitchcock, Warkworth Information Centre Manager Warkworth Information Centre Visit Warkworth and Explore Mahurangi! 📍 Local gems, events & attractions 🗺️ Visitor info & travel tips! 1 Baxter Street | Open weekdays 10AM -4PM onemahurangi.co.nz/warkworth-info-centre Follow @visitwarkworth on Instagram
