Press Release August 2023:

Ticket Price Adjustment for the Magic of Christmas Night Market 2023

We’re so excited to be in the midst of planning this year’s event and have some incredible small businesses involved that we can’t wait to share with you. We wanted to give you a quick heads up on small change we’ve made to this year’s market.

After standing firm in our ticket pricing for the past 2.5 years through the end of the pandemic, cost of living crisis, wages increases and record inflation, we have had to take a close look at what it now takes to host our events and continue to make them even better. 

Due to all of the above reasons, and more, we have made the decision to adjust our ticket pricing to $10 per person (under 12s remain free). This adjustment means that we can continue to make a significant donation to the Arohanui Hospice, pay our amazing team well and invest in making these events better and better year on year.  

We thank you for your continued support and understanding, so that we can keep creating these events for our community and support over 150 small businesses (151, if you include us!). 

Thank you all for your continued support,

Lauren, Ben + the George & Co Events team
