Upper Moutere School fund-raising team have put together an evening of pampering and purchasing for local ladies to spoil themselves and maybe even get in a spot of pre-Christmas shopping ticked off the list, all while soaking up the atmosphere and enjoyng a social occasion.
Coordinator for the event, Julie Brown, says the Ladies Night Market is an evening of “Beauty, Wellness and Craft”, and is a fund-raiser for the Upper Moutere School.
Charity events have long been regarded as a popular occasion on the school’s calendar, as it is a way for the school to raise money for items not covered by government funding.
Julie says the money will be combined, with funds raised from a previous disco and bake sale, to go towards a shade sail for the deck outside of the students ‘Marama’ classroom.
Liana Brown, a year 7 student at the school, says, “it will make it really nice in summer, it won’t be so hot and we can actually sit out there. The shade sail will make the area look nice as well.”
“All the kids will benefit from it,” adds Julie.
“We were offered the chance to run this event and ran our first one in December. We were really pleased to have 60 people come along. It was a fun, relaxed evening and people said they enjoyed the different range of stalls, and that some of them were interactive.” There will be a range of booths available such as natural skin care, make-up, herbal teas, essential oils, raw foods and crafts.
“Pampering will also be on offer in the form of nails, eyebrow shaping and tinting, massage and reflexology, haircuts and even a float tank.
Corrin Smooch from Smooch Natural Products and Laura Richards from Nutrimetics will be organising and running the stalls.
“People can expect a wide variety of stalls in a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere, in the beautiful Upper Moutere venue,” says Julie.
The event will be held on September 6, from 7pm to 9pm at the Moutere Hills Community Centre.
Entry is $10 which includes a glass of bubbles, and nibbles are provided.
Tickets are available from the school office.
