Maketime is what we’re calling our series of workshops where ideas come to life. We’ve already got three planned this year and ‘Move It’ is the theme for the first one.

This one's all about movement - physical, creative or social. Think sport, dance, wellness, activism, theatre or anything that gets people moving and connecting IRL.

The deadline for applications is 4 July 2025

A Venue Steeped in History

Originally serving as the caretaker’s cottage, Myers Park Cottage has a storied past. It was modernised in the early 20th century when Myers Park was established, and although it lost some of its Victorian-era touches, its historical essence remains untouched.

Today, it is one of only two kauri buildings from its era still standing on Queen Street.
