Now in its 17th year and attracting visitors from all over New Zealand, the Geraldine Summer Fête on Thursday 5 November is a perfect day to reconnect with friends and do a spot of shopping in the beautiful gardens of Stover Farm.
Just 10 minutes north of Geraldine, the Summer Fête boasts 200 high-quality artisan stalls, including homewares, deli and food, art, garden and lifestyle items, women’s and men’s clothing, children’s toys and clothing, skincare, jewellery and accessories, including the stunning Talbot Silver Jewellery collection with its elegant bespoke pieces, and so much more.
The perfect opportunity to begin your Christmas shopping, the Fête’s organisers pride themselves on offering a day of relaxing elegance amongst the spring blooms and towering trees of historic Stover, a working farm that has been in the Mackenzie family for four generations. “We’re all looking forward to celebrating the onset of summer and the chance to reconnect with each other,” says organiser Deanna Mackenzie. “What better way to celebrate than with a Pimm’s with friends amongst spring blooms and sunshine, delicious food and great live entertainment. So, don your best hat and dress for a day of exclusive shopping in a relaxed country atmosphere.”
