"Attended the Vintage Vibes event. Good number of interesting stalls. Free entry and well attended"
"Art + Food? Amazing combination. Whirinaki is a good little gallery that showcases local artisans. If your hungry or need a drink after rounds of masterpieces, then your in luck! Just outside the reception is Dough Bakery! Whirinaki hold events such as book fair, Artisan craft market (small businesses showcase) and more!"
"A fun little gallery that focuses on quality over quantity. Always something interesting to experience. And always at least one exhibition that is aimed at kids. We love coming and spending an hour here. Events like the book fair or lego exhibition make it well worth travelling to. And the attached cafe (Dough) is great - but the price tag matches the quality!"
