Tick tock! 14 days till Christmas!!

Tick tock! 14 days till Christmas!!


Spend your Friday the 13th down in the park for the ultimate stop motion Christmas classic, The Nightmare Before Christmas. Head on down for a bite to eat at Silo Markets from five pm, before the film starts at 9pm.


Jack Skellington, aka the Pumpkin King, has had enough of his job and needs a little more spice from Halloweenland. He soon stumbles upon Christmastown, and promptly decides to make the Yuletide his own.

Did you know? This stop-motion musical took an age to make, for one minute of the movie an entire week of filming was required!!

Feeling festive? Have you picked up your Christmas tree yet? In support of the Auckland City Mission, the Silo Markets are selling Christmas trees throughout December. Make sure you hopscotch your way down to the markets for a fine selection of Christmas decorations and a freshly cut Christmas tree!

Silo Park is home to Laneway Festival next year, and we are psyched for another absolutely huge day of festival goodness in our backyard once again. Held on Auckland’s Anniversary Weekend (27th January) expect to see a killer line-up that includes the likes of CHVRCHES, Haim, Parquet Courts, Youth Lagoon and more...

We are giving away some Laneway Festival prizes on Facebook..

• 2 x St Jerome’s Laneway Festival tickets (Auckland festival)
• 3 x very good bottles of wine from the new Laneway concept bar called The Vivian (Black Cottage Pinot Noir, Cambridge Road Papillon Rosé, Black Cottage Pinot Gris)
• Laneway artist albums from Haim, Lorde, Parquet Courts and James Blake.

To enter, head to the Silo Park Facebook page for further information! All prizes will be drawn by Friday 13th December at 5pm. You must be at least 18 years of age to enter.
