Upcoming Activities in Newtown

Our Town Newtown - Questionnaire

The Our Town Newtown Project Questionnaire is now live! This questionnaire is a community-wide introduction to the Our Town Newtown Project. This project is a collaboration between Wellington City Council and Newtown locals and is providing Newtown with an opportunity to collectively develop ideas and identify how to best spend Wellington City Council allocated funds on the development of WCC community facilities in Newtown.
 
We have opened a pop-up project hub in the shop site at 199 Riddiford St, next door to St Vincent de Paul, you can go here to see how progress is coming along. There will be public talks and activities in the near future - watch this space!

Right now we're keen to hear your initial thoughts via this questionnaire. We're keen to understand where we are starting from: what Newtown is, what Newtown has, what Newtown needs, and how Newtown does things. The questionnaire is designed to collect information about this.
 
The online version of the questionnaire is here. Please fill this in and then share wildly! If you or anyone you know would rather be interviewed, instead of filling in a form, please let us know by emailing us or popping into the pop up shop at 199 Riddiford St.

Yoga for the Newtown Community!
​

Looking for affordable, quality yoga in Newtown? Look no further!

We're super lucky to have such community-minded and dedicated yoga instructors in Newtown, who are passionate about yoga and ensuring as many people as possible get to experience its benefits.

Tutors Sarrah, Milo, Rosie & Kim run classes in two locations, Newtown Hall on Daniell St (opposite Med Foods Warehouse) and here at the Community Centre on Colombo St. 

Newtown Hall (Daniell St):
Tuesdays 6.00 - 7.00pm (koha $5 - $10)
Wednesdays 7.00 - 8.15pm (koha $5 - $10)
Thursdays 5.30-6.45pm (koha $5 - $10)

Classes are open to all levels, and some mats are provided for those who don't have their own.

Please note that Tuesday's 10am class at the Community Centre is a baby friendly class - this means that parents/caregivers needing to bring their baby along with them are welcome to do so. Any noise and interruptions from babies and their parents attending to them during the class is accepted as part and parcel of the session.  (If you prefer to practice your yoga without interruptions, please come along to any of the other yoga classes.)
