What’s On: Get an arts bargain

Morning Sunners well its an end of an era with the Cargo Shed closing down today. So why not head down there and see if you can grab a bargain.

The Cargo Shed on Dive Crescent opens for the last time at 10am and is open until 4pm today.

The Cargo shed is owned by the city council but is on Crown land. It was built sometime after the Second World War as the main cargo shed for the then port.

It has been an arts venue since 2004, was taken over by the city council in 2009. For a while it was administered by Creative Tauranga, until a stall holders' coup in 2013 which saw Creative Tauranga removed from the loop and the stall holders began dealing directly with the council.

But if heading down to the Cargo Shed doesn't sound like your cup of tea then check out our What's On here and look at some of the other activities happening in the city.
