Kapiti Collab is back this summer – and we’re looking for vendors!

We’re super excited to share that Kapiti Collab will be reopening from early November through to the end of January. This time with two containers.

That means more vendor spots, less shift commitment, and even more opportunities to be part of a vibrant community space over the busy summer months. Kicking off with the Kapiti Arts Trail and leading right through the holiday season 🎨🎄

We’re now calling for expressions of interest from small businesses, makers, creatives, and local legends who might be keen to join us.

Got questions or keen to chat? Drop us a message or comment below – or flick through an email to [email protected]

Supporting small never goes out of style!

A massive thank you to the for setting up this awesome pop-up space and giving small businesses like ours the chance to try something new in a supportive environment. e’re so appreciative.

And of course, a big shoutout to our incredible vendors: Slurpies, Tui & Twine, Herbal Soap Haven, Sandra Smillies, Mariana Collette, Macrame by Morgan, Upscaleprints, and Effing & Blinding. You made the space vibrant, creative and inspiring.❤
