There’s a buzz in the city.

A sense of expectation and optimism that we’re reaching our destination in the new normal. Tāmaki Makaurau is waking up.

It’s been a rocky road since we first opened. Two years of sourdough filled lockdowns, zoom issues and ill-fitting online purchases. But there’s light at the end of the tunnel.

As we resume regular service, it’s time to rediscover what we’ve been missing. A world where imagination and fun rule. It’s time to get out of the house and play.

Let’s share conversations with the traders, sample the city’s flavours, explore its secrets and spend time with the people we love.

Our precinct, a playground of discovery, beckons you back. Whether it’s the smell of freshly brewed coffee at Kōkako, the ability to try on that dream knit at Wynn Hamlyn or treating yourself at Skintopia, get back into doing what you love.

It’s time to Get Out and Play.
