May: Regent 24hr Booksale

The 24 Hour Book Sale is the largest sale of second-hand books in New Zealand, and reputedly the largest in the Southern hemisphere. Buyers come from throughout New Zealand for the sale, which helps raise funds that go directly back into the theatre. The sale runs from 12 noon on a Friday through to 12 noon on a Saturday. A continuous stream of local musicians support the sale, by playing a variety of music to all in attendance, making for one magic combination - books and music!
