A sunny start to anniversary weekend drew crowds to Raglan on Saturday and the sunny weather will continue on Sunday. Visitors filled the cafes, beaches and harbour.
Many people were in town for the Raglan Arts Weekend with just under 40 artists having their studios open or at the Old School Arts Centre. Photographer Trevor Penfold has his wildlife and scenic work on display at his studio on Hills Road.
At the Raglan Old School Arts Centre in Stewart Street there is the Little Food Festival to tantalise your taste buds. Inside the Old School several artists have their work on display. In the community gallery there is an exhibition with one piece from all artists taking part in the Arts Weekend.
What to see and when:
The Artists’ Open Studios will be open for viewing on Saturday 28 January, Sunday 29 January and Monday 30 January, from 10am to 3pm, with a select few open until 5pm.
