The Pop-up Parlour is a month-long experiment in community connection.

What becomes possible when we open up a space for community, where locals can connect, collaborate, share
and meet?

Burger Night is back!! Friday 30th August 5 to 7.30pm.
Pre-order your burgers here and collect @St Mark’s between 5 and 6pm, Friday 16th.

With the support of the Nikau Foundation and the Anglican Diocese we will be turning St Mark’s into a community hub for 5 weeks this winter. We’re supporting locals to run events and activities that provide people with opportunities to meet, connect, share, learn and provide mutual aid.

To facilitate an event or activity from 16 August to 22 September get in touch! hello@pkbhub.org.nz

Stay tuned as events and activities are announced and this space comes to life!
