​​ISSUE 120 - May 2025

 

Your FREE monthly magazine of all things local on the Coast.

​

Welcome, dear readers. We couldn’t be more excited to bring you our very first issue as The Coasties Mag.

​

These pages are filled with all the great local stories, information and entertainment you’ve always enjoyed reading in The Millwater Mag and The Orewa Mag under a new name that’s more inclusive of all our local community, now and as we continue to grow. Whether you’re reading online or hold our pages within your hands, thanks for being here, and please remember to let us know about any local stories, events and achievements we can help shine a light on.

​

In this issue we celebrate the resounding success of the inaugural Silverdale Pioneer Festival, a decade in business for Fuchsia Hair Design and the incredible achievements of local supplement and skincare company Abeeco®. We have information on everything from getting involved with astronomy on the Coast to ‘supporting’ others with your second-hand bras and how to make the best egg salad sandwiches. If it’s a bit of local entertainment you’re after, we have details of all the latest events at Estuary Arts Centre, a local production of West Side Story and how to buy tickets for the upcoming HBC Singers concert – always a super popular event.

​

Check out p46 for details on when the temporary library at the community centre will be closing and when our brand new (well, technically refurbished, but basically new) library will be opening its doors. There’s taco and tempura recipes, book reviews and so, so much more.

​

Please, pop your feet up and enjoy, and don’t forget your mum on Mother’s Day!

 

​​​Kind regards

Claire Nevans & The Coasties Mag Team
