Hawke's Bay has plenty of activities and events for people of all ages to enjoy. We list 8 of the best on this weekend.

1. Blokart Hawkes Bay
Blokarts are small land yachts and is an "adventure" type activity. We supply all safety equipment and briefing and sailing instruction on the venue. It is proving quite popular to date. The activity would be somewhat dependent on weather; mainly wind. We cannot supply transport to and from the venue, but it's only a short taxi ride.
Roundabout where the Expressway meets Prebensen Dr: Tomorrow, 1pm-3pm
Information: The cost is $25 per half hour (which is generally enough time).

2 Beer Appreciation Day IX
The only occasion in Hawke's Bay where you can taste beers from near all of the region's local breweries freshly poured from the tap. Duart House, 51 Duart Rd, Havelock North: Today, 12.30pm – 7pm
