SPARKS 2017
Rockets lit the heavens as local windows, and probably some dentures,
were rattled by the explosions overhead. This was not a re-enactment of
the Battle of Waterloo, but Sparks 2017, where music and gunpowder
form the perfect partnership. Crowds gathered early to picnic and be
entertained by the Christchurch Symphony Orchestra. Seated on rugs
on the ground and in corporate marquees, including Star Media’s, the
audience waited in mounting anticipation for the fi rst notes to play
and the fl aming bouquet to blossom in the sky. Following the aerial
excitement, joyous folk, young and old, journeyed home and the last
wisps of smoke dissolved into the night.

ANTHONY HARPER SUMMER THEATRE
ROBIN HOOD EXCLUSIVE PREVIEW
The wind blew through the green woods at Riccarton House, magically transporting the
gathering crowd to the fantasy world of old Sherwood Forest and the antics of Robin
Hood. With the wizardry of Anthony Harper and The Forge at The Court, the world’s bestloved
outlaw robbed the rich to help himself, sorry, I mean the poor, and chat up pretty
maidens. Topical humour abounded as the invited audience of sponsors and guests
laughed and cheered the jolly romp along. It was an evening of arrow-splitting fun and
side-splitting laughter.
