This Weekend + Next Week in Auckland

Cars meets, books sales, comedy and a full-on knight fight. If this doesn’t get you out of the house, nothing will.

Kia ora!

Between the weather, my roof nearly flying off, and my phone getting alerts like we were about to get nuked it’s been a wild week. But skies are finally clearing, and this weekend is stacked: car meets, book sales, comedy, and more.

And next Wednesday there’s a full-blown knight fight with real metal swords happening! Honestly, if someone doesn’t yell “FOR HONOUR!” during the battle I’m leaving.

Also, if you’re wondering why this hit your inbox on a Thursday instead of Friday, I got a bunch of emails saying Friday was too last-minute to plan anything. Which I understand, so from now on The Auckland Bagel will arrive in your inbox every Thursday at 9AM.

Enjoy this week’s issue 🥯
