You can satisfy all your culinary needs – including giving your tastebuds a good tingle – by rolling on down to the Friday night food trucks in Carterton. Organiser Adele Bently said that the success of Masterton’s popular Thursday night food trucks has meant the initiative has now moved further south. If you’re wondering what to fill your empty stomach with tonight, then head on down.
Tonight, 4.30pm-7pm, Carrington Park, High St, Carterton; entry is free and open to all ages.
Music to your ears
Tonight, Club Wairarapa will welcome Kenny Mill to play all of the music you know and love. And while you’re enjoying the greatest hits, you can get a scrumptious meal from the Whatman Restaurant, which will be open from 5.30pm. Members, affiliated members, and their guests are all welcome. If this sounds like music to your ears, then make a note to get your groove on.
