BLENDED returns to Havelock North on 22nd March 2026.
Happening 12pm – 4pm, on Treachers Lane transforming the Village into a vibrant celebration of creativity, flavour, and connection.
Spend the afternoon wandering around Treachers Lane and the surrounding where local artists, wineries, and eateries come together for a one-of-a-kind open-air experience. Enjoy live painting, pop-up art displays, interactive installations, and the finest Hawke’s Bay food, wine, and live music.
It’s a relaxed and inspiring way to spend one of the last Sundays of summer – surrounded by local talent, good friends, and the unmistakable charm of Havelock North.
Ticketing options are: Free entry event
Wine glass pack, $30 | includes a glass to keep and four tasting tokens

Something special is uncorking.
Three magnum bottles. Three local artists — Josh Lancaster, Abbey Merson and Patrick Tyman.
Each has transformed a magnum “Jabrome” bottle into a one-of-a-kind artwork as part of Art Uncorked.
View the pieces at Muse Art Gallery until 27 March, and see them showcased at BLENDED on Sunday 22 March. Then head to Smith & Sheth Oenothèque to taste the wines included in this collector’s package.
Each artwork is sold with a case of Smith & Sheth CRU Collection wines, creating a unique art and wine pairing.
Bidding is now open via the online auction, which will close with a live auction-end celebration at Smith & Sheth on Friday 27 March from 5pm, with final bids closing at 6.30pm.
50% of proceeds go directly to the artists, with the remaining 50% supporting future art and vibrancy projects in Havelock North Village.
