Whatโ€™s on in Titirangi?

From markets, live music and art exhibitions to theatre, film, festivals and community celebrations, the village has a busy calendar throughout the year. On any given week you might find a market, a writing circle, an artist talk, a live performance or a special event.

Markets and community

The Titirangi Village Market is a local favourite, held on the last Sunday of most months. It's a great place to browse handmade crafts, art, vintage finds, food and produce, with live music adding to the atmosphere.

Throughout the year, community events bring people together, from the Titirangi Primary School Gala and Splash of Pink fundraiser to Christmas celebrations, Matariki and Twilight in the Village.

Make a day of it: Start with breakfast or coffee, explore the market, browse the village shops and pop into Te Uru before heading home.

Art around every corner

Titirangi has a long connection with artists and creativity, and there's always something to discover.

Te Uru Waitฤkere Contemporary Gallery hosts exhibitions by leading New Zealand artists alongside talks, workshops, performances and special events. Its late-night openings are a chance to enjoy art, music and a drink after hours.

Annual events such as Open Studios Waitฤkere offer a rare opportunity to visit artists in their own studios, while the Titirangi Garden Festival combines beautiful local gardens with art and community fundraising.

Make a day of it: Enjoy a morning in the galleries, have lunch in the village, then head further west to explore the studios, gardens and landscapes of the Waitฤkere Ranges.

Theatre, film and live music

For a small village, Titirangi has plenty of entertainment on offer.

Titirangi Theatre stages productions throughout the year, while Flicks Cinema at Lopdell Precinct brings films to the big screen, including special screenings for families.

There's also live music, dance and performance at local venues and at Te Uru, as well as the Titirangi Festival of Music and other events that celebrate our creative community.

Make an evening of it: Meet friends for a drink or dinner before a show, or come early to explore the shops and galleries.

Workshops, classes and things to try

Not everything happens on a stage or in a gallery. Throughout the week, Titirangi is home to creative workshops, writing circles, classes, talks and activities for all ages.

Whether you're keen to learn something new, meet other locals or simply try something different, there's usually something happening.

Come for an hour, stay for lunch or make a day of it.

  • Combine a market, exhibition or performance with a great coffee or a meal

  • Try little shopping or a catch-up with friends and then head on to the Waitฤkere Ranges, French Bay or Piha beaches

  • Fuel up before a bush walk (or grab an ice cream afterwards)

This little village is also the perfect starting point for a bigger adventure.
