A monthly e-newsletter covering what’s on in Kirikiriroa Hamilton - including gigs, theatre, films and in the galleries. We also have the latest buzz on what’s good to eat around town, whether that’s fresh produce or the latest cafe or restaurant opening.
Our Scuttlebutt section also brings yous the highlights of Hamilton news - from council proceedings, gaffs, and just plain around town gossip.
We are editorially independent, and do not run advertorial. We pay our own way in terms of food, drink, gigs – and will let you know if we aren’t.
Our readers are discerning and engaged - more than 80% open our emails (that’s really good), and the majority click on links, with additional traffic going through the website. We have concentrated on our email list ahead of social media, but are building that up to reach a slightly difference audience.
