Mercy Hospice Strawberry Festival

Celebrate the arrival of the strawberry season and support Mercy Hospice Auckland at the Hospice Strawberry Festival.

Queen Elizabeth II Square will be transformed into a vibrant market village where you can purchase strawberries and ice cream for $5 as well as other sweet treats.

The collectable 2011 Strawberry Angel Christmas ornament will also be revealed - a great gift idea and the perfect addition to your Christmas tree.

Performers and musicians will be providing entertainment throughout the day including Annah Mac singing songs from her debut album called “Little Stranger” and Hershel, celebrities and media will make guest appearances in the morning and well-known chefs Lauraine Jacobs and Annabelle White will be whipping up delectable strawberry recipes at lunch time.

The Strawberry Festival wouldn't be possible without the generous support of Phil Greig Strawberry Gardens (1500 punnets of strawberries), Tip Top (600L ice cream) and Carlton Party Hire.

Hospice care ensures that people who face a life-limiting illnesses are cared for, (often in their own home) with the utmost professional skill, compassion and respect.

Proceeds from the event will help Mercy Hospice Auckland to provide their services at no cost to the patients and their families so come and join us.
