There will be live music and lots of free activities to entertain the little ones.

BOOK SALE: Book-lovers come from overseas to hunt out hard-tofind titles so why not check out Rotorua’s Best Secondhand Bookstall? It’s on today from 9am to 1pm at the kiosk at Kuirau Park, with all sales benefiting Rotorua Library.

ROLLER SKATING: Get on a roll today at the Roller Disco at Queen Elizabeth Youth Centre, corner of Devonport and 11th Ave, Tauranga, from 1pm to 3pm. All ages and abilities are welcome. Basic instruction and tips, disco music, lights, a fog machine and limbo competitions are all part of the fun.

SOCIAL KNITTING: You’ll find a collective of mad yarn bombers, sultry stitchery, happy hookers and arty nutters at Ninja Kints. It’s on tomorrow at The Incubator Creative Hub at The Historic Village in Tauranga from 9.30am to 11.30am. Members share yarns, both woolly and tall, laugh heaps, swap patterns, show off their latest projects and find there is nothing a good needling won’t fix.
