What's On in Hastings

If running is your thing - why not run away to the Hawke's Bay and take part in the Hawke's Bay Marathon on September 19th? The 42km, 21km, 3km and kids run are all options. You will take in the highlights of the region with flat easy running through cycle trails, quiet country roads, pass vineyards and orchards and to finish at Elephant Hill Winery. Its a festival like atmosphere with fun for the whole family. Make a weekend of it and book your Hastings accommodation at Elmore Lodge so you can rest your weary legs with us after the race.

We sure are lucky in NZ to be able to travel around the country freely and attend events as we normally would right now. If lockdown re-energised you to get out and exercise, then the annual Cole Murray Cape Kidnappers Trail Run could be an event for you! It is being held on the 3rd October. There are 32k / 21.1k / 15k & 5k walk or run options and you will encounter stunning views along the course!

The Mission Concert's favourite artist, Sir Rod Stewart, returns in November to play a special Mission Estate Winery gig as part of his world tour.

The performance, on Saturday, November 14, will be part of his The Hits! world tour, a 50-year celebration of his stellar career, a career highlighted by extraordinary performances at The Mission in 2005 and 2012.

Why not take a bit of Hastings home with a visit to the Hawke's Bay Farmers Market. Held every Sunday 8.30am - 12.30pm at the Hawke's Bay A & P Showgrounds, you'll discover the diverse range of fresh produce and genuine artisan products grown and produced in Hawke’s Bay.
