This year’s Anzac Day commemoration service will be held at the Otago Peninsula Museum (Harington Point Road, Portobello) at 9:30am on Monday 25 April 2022. Please join us.

Morning tea to follow. The event will be outdoors so attendance is unrestricted, but please be considerate of your neighbours by wearing a face mask and observing social distancing when entering the buildings.

We look forward to seeing you there.

We were thrilled to see our fundraising efforts for the Pump Track at the Portobello Domain featured in the Otago Daily Times this week. Much thanks to the Otago Community Trust and the Alexander McMillan Trust for their support, and to all in the Portobello community who have supported us this far. Keep an eye on our progress on our Pump Track project page.

Due to the uncertainty around the current Covid outbreak and the extra overhead of managing our indoor/outdoor event as a small volunteer group under the circumstances, we have decided that most prudent course of action is to cancel the Spring Market Day scheduled for 14 November.

For those who registered and wish to have your registration fee refunded, please contact us through our contact form and we will get you sorted.

We’re grateful to all of the vendors, food trucks, performers and supporters who registered or expressed interest. We’re moving ahead to planning our Summer Market Day, which will be in late January or early February. We’ll keep you posted here when dates are finalised and registration is open.

We hope to see you all soon under better circumstances!

Laugh off lockdown and support the building of the Peninsula Pump Track by joining us on Saturday 23rd October for the Peninsula Comedy Night, presented by Portobello Inc. in conjunction with the Dunedin Comedy Club.

Laughs start from 7.30pm and tickets are available by clicking the button below, or from the Portobello Store & Deli – $15pp. There will be a cash bar and a food truck on the night.

Save the date! The 2021 Portobello Winter Market Day will take place on Sunday 11 July 2021, sponsored by Portobello Community Inc and Food Truck Markets.

Sunday 11th October 2020 – 10am – 2:00pm
Food Trucks with a selection of scrumptious food will be at Coronation Hall, Portobello.

Entertainment and a great selection of food. Hall will be open on a wet day. Support this initiative so we can incorporate future big stall holder and market days. See you there!

Just a quick note to let folks know that the Portobello Paddock Pursuit, our popular muddy, slimy, wet obstacle course fun run, will not be taking place this year. The organising committee lost a few key volunteers this year , and it’s proven a bit too much to get a new team in place in time for this year’s event.

As such, we’ve decided to take a break this year, and we plan on returning in November 2019 with our biggest and best event ever.

Our thanks to everyone who’s been eagerly asking about the Paddock Pursuit’s return. It takes a small army of volunteers to make it a success. If you are interested in helping to organise next year’s event, please contact the Portobello Community committee, or stop by one of our monthly meetings on the third Tuesday of every month at 7:30pm at Coronation Hall.
