Each November, thousands of visitors flock to Ellerslie from all over Auckland and beyond for a fair like no other.
The Michael Park School Summer Fair offers whimsical family summer fun with games for all ages, sumptuous food sold in the school-run cafés such as the Vegetarian Café, Devonshire Tearoom, Tastebuds Café and the BBQ grill, which can all be enjoyed guilt-free as we continue to aim for zero waste. A lot of the veges for the Vegetarian Café are grown in the organic gardens here in the school, and parents hand make all the prizes for the games such as the Lucky Dip and the famous Clucky Hen.
The entertainment stage provides live music all through the day.
Children under 8 can enjoy a “teensy-tea” in the Flower Fairy Café while their parents visit Primrose Café. If they dare, they can hear the Dragon’s tale for a treasure and then go shopping in the children-only zone at the Children’s Bazaar, after a visit to the Fairy Queen. Children can also take up the Knights Challenge with a ride on the wooden horse, navigate the Fairy Tale Obstacle Course, have a bash at the Coconut Shy, dig for Buried Treasure, go Fishing or have a go at Candle Dipping!
We have plenty of visitors who come without children. With over 100 incredible stalls on the day you can shop for a multitude of handcrafted delights and do all of your Christmas shopping in one day. On a par with the many quality stallholders, we have the school Snapdragon shop, and the Woodwork, Doll and Craft group stalls with their products highly sought after. Parents work year-round toproduce beautiful items for sale.
Visitors can also come and participate in the live Outdoor Classroom – under the tent, you can try your hand at old-fashioned woodworking, metalcraft or pottery. Another big attraction is the huge Pre-Loved Clothing stall, and of course the sellout Cake Stall does a roaring trade.
Many people return to our fair each year to be transported back to the charm of yesteryear!
