Birkenhead Area Must Do's
Chelsea Sugar Factory, Birkenhead
Calling all keen bakers. Take a behind-the-scenes dive into this famous sugar factory with a one-hour guided tour and tasting, then treat yourself to some fine fare or high tea at Sugar Café. There’s a brilliant playground and ample parking; the traditional yellow lines are candy-coloured pink. Cute!

Bridgeway Cinema, Northcote
Arthouse films mingle beside all-blazing blockbusters; movie magic has been enthralling patrons here since 1927. There’s a bistro next door, too.
Northcote Tavern
One of the oldest pubs in the region boasts a grand façade, a classic pub atmosphere, the quintessential beer garden and an enormous Sunday roast.
Birkenhead Night Market
Every Sunday from 4.30pm in the underground car park of Highbury Mall, you can taste everything from Spanish churros to Filipino adobo. Prices are low and the servings are huge.
Breweries
Birkenhead Brewing Co occupies a cosy 100-yearold kauri villa; The Beer Spot in Northcote is both a jovial tavern and an off-licence; Brothers Beer Birkenhead serves great ale alongside its Juke Joint BBQ menu and Mythica Brewing is a hidden gem located in Totara Vale, complete with a fully licensed bar. Open Thursday to Saturday.
