I was given a perfume workshop for my birthday - what a treat! I’ve always had a love of perfume but this was an experience I’ll treasure for a years to come, in fact it was so good I did a second! So many divine notes to choose from and under the teams’ expert care you’re guided to create a totally unique fragrance which come in a gorgeous bottle. Fabulous day, lovely company and I smell sensational! :)

Awesome Sunday market on an awesome day is brilliant. Every stall was friendly and polite, not all have eftpos available so bring cash, those that do or don’t accept cards are clearly signed as such either way. Plenty to eat and drink, a lot of buskers but they are strategically placed and volume controlled so they don’t interfere with each other. From old stuff to new stuff, there is something for everyone. Apparently the council is planning to concrete jungle the car park where this institute is located thus ending this iconic thing to do, that would be a shame.

Held in seven locations across Auckland, the night markets have a great vibe, with buskers, magicians, and dance troupes plus delicious street food from around the globe.

The Glenfield Sunday Night Market is a must-do for a huge variety (with an emphasis on Asian) of cheap eats served fresh and hot. Malaysian, Thai, Chinese, Filipino, American, Korean, South African...the list of cuisines represented is long. At first glance, you could easily imagine that you were browsing street vendors in any of a dozen Asian cities. Most of the food is cooked right in front of you, so you get it piping hot. We’ve been coming to this market for years and it’s always good, always a fun experience for everyone in the family. Wander around, snack on delicious food from all over the world, top it off with your choice of sweet treat from any of a dozen dessert stalls and then take home a little bit of everything. Wow. The prices are rock-bottom. $10 for 4 large teriyaki chicken sticks, $11 for 33 pot-stickers, $2 pork buns, $10 for 7 pieces of prawn shiu-mai, and don’t leave without your healthy serving of Nutella cheesecake for $5. As the night goes on, the market gets crowded and parking fills up in the parking structure. Still, there are always spaces available, you just have to drive up higher in the structure to get them. We like to show up when things are just getting rolling at 5:30pm, and folks are starting to trickle in. Whenever you arrive, the Glenfield Sunday Night Market is a good time, with good food, at crazy-good prices. There are merchandise vendors here, also, and browsing their stalls is always interesting. iPhone paraphernalia, jewelry, hats, clothing, holistic health items, toys and more. Fresh fruit and vegetables round out the vendor stalls. The hours are 5:30pm to 11:00pm. We heartily recommend the Glenfield Sunday Night Market. It’s fun for the whole family. If you’re lucky, there will be live music and maybe even the human statue guy. Check out the pictures!

Shopping here is a really pleasant experience. It's light and airy with a good range of shops. There's a good information desk, lifts and escalators. The food court is varied although it can be hard to find a seat at busy times. It feels safe and there's a nice vibe there.
