🐾 Meet Alfie – Our ! 🐾
Say hello to Alfie, a 11-year-old Miniature Schnauzer from Breaker Bay
He is currently being dog-sitted by Libby and Grant from Mt Vic as his owners Kathy and Trevor are away overseas.
Alfie’s all good hanging with whoever. He’s super friendly and a happy boy.
He loves all food and I am assured a very well behaved doggo. Apart from maybe sleeping on the bed when it’s free.
Alfie also is a very keen walker and loves exploring nature.
Libby and Grant have been visiting Harbourside Market pretty much every Sunday for the last 6 years.
What do they like about it? Everything!!
Great priced produce, sitting looking over the water enjoying dim sums, Montfoort and Mr Circle. Occasionally treat themselves to some cheese or pastries then home for a cup of tea.
Sounds like an awesome way to spend Sundays to me.

Happy Saturday Wellington!
Hope it’s been productive for you. Quite a bit of rain overnight at my place but seems to have calmed down now. Sun is even popping its head through the clouds as I write this.
Last Sunday was another pretty good day on the waterfront. Such a nice place to spend some of your day, catch up with friends and enjoy what the market offers.
Tomorrows also looking good with lots going on.
Andrew and Jo from Knife Edge Sharpening will be in their usual spot tomorrow. Bring anything you need sharpening, leave it with them for a bit while you enjoy the market, then collect. Easy.
Shevington Farm Free Range Eggs will be attending tomorrow. All going well they will be here weekly going forward.

Let's get behind MugCycle at Harbourside.

At Harbourside Market, look what you'll see,
A clever idea served with your tea (or coffee!).

Simon from Mug.Cycle is leading the way,
Giving rescued old mugs a new role to play.

Grab one for your flat white, latte or brew,
Then pop it back later when you're through.

No single-use cups, no waste in the bin,
Just good coffee and mugs making a win.

So next time you're wandering the market for treats,
Choose a real mug and help keep Wellington neat! ☕💚♻️

🐾 Meet Ruby – Our ! 🐾
Say hello to Princess Ruby, a 7-year-old Miniature Schnauzer from Plimmerton!
Ruby visits the market occasionally with her humans, Dave and Leigh. As their very first dog, she holds a special place in their hearts. Leigh has always loved Schnauzers, and when they happened to visit a pet store in Porirua and saw a litter of puppies, Ruby was obviously the cutest choice!
One of the lovely things about living locally is that Ruby still gets to see some of her siblings around town from time to time.
While she can be a little shy around people, Ruby absolutely loves other small dogs. She’s also a big foodie, especially when it comes to Leigh’s homemade venison, vegetable, and oats stew. It sounds so good that even I’m tempted to try it!
Full of energy, Ruby is famous for her “round-and-round zoomies,” which keep everyone entertained. She’s also known for her stylish outfits—a passion shared by Leigh. They’re not just fashionable either; they come in handy on bush walks.
Dave and Leigh love visiting the market for the fresh produce, as well as favourites like the Greek Food Truck and many of the other fantastic stalls.
Thanks for sharing Ruby with us, Dave and Leigh! 🐶❤️

Happy Saturday Wellington!
After a very chilly start what a beautiful day it turned out to be.
I’m sure everyone would have been out and about and the new Te Awa Tupua very busy.
Still yet to check it out but looking forward to cycling it.
Last Sunday was an absolute cracker at the market. Such a nice place to spend some of your day.
Tomorrows looking ok with lots going on.
Our longtime friends from the Ukraine will be beside the market office with lots of yummy food as usual. If you haven’t tried borscht, now’s your chance.
Shevington Farm Free Range Eggs will be attending tomorrow. I know many of you are missing them. It shouldn’t be too long before they are back weekly.
