The place to be this Thursday and Friday morning is (shock horror) not in your bed! Itβs at the top of Trafalgar Street from 6am-9am having an #extraordinary time whilst The AM Show live broadcast on TV and radio to the rest of the country.
Other than the chance to be a part of this live broadcast extravaganza, there is plenty of reason to rug up warm and get your friends and family up that little bit earlier.
On Thursday, it will be bikers galore β so bike on in, be bright and be seen by wearing your high vis gear, and make yourself a smoothie using the bike-powered blender. On Friday, rug up warm for the family and workers breakfast morning, with plenty of hearty, warm food on offer to satisfy the whole family.
You can fill your tummies on both days with free bacon butties courtesy of Chorus, grab a coffee and doughnut from Burger Culture (from 5am), brekky at FORD'S Restaurant & Bar, or a cocktail breakfast and BBQ snacks from Cod & Lobster Brasserie. Nelson, NZ (from 7am)!
See you there!
