What if exploring Nelson felt like a game?
Now, Purple Man is out there… somewhere in the city.
He’s been spotted in your favourite retail shops, cafés, restaurants, and local businesses across Nelson — but he’s not making it easy.
To make things interesting, he wants you to figure out exactly where he was. Hidden in plain sight across some of Nelson’s most recognisable spots, he’s waiting to be found. Each week, we’ll drop a new clue.
Your mission? Spot Purple Man, guess the location, and go in the draw to WIN one of 10 Panasonic Bluetooth speakers.
This Week’s Clue
A stylish spot with vintage charm, set inside a classic glass-fronted building with towering pillars. Inside, you’ll find a nod to a 1960s Italian icon — think scooters, bold design, and plenty of character.
Purple Man was here… do you know where?
GUESS NOW
The giveaway runs from Wednesday 5 May. One winner will be announced every Monday for 10 weeks.

The Talk of The Town – Simon & Chris | Emma & Nikki – Sublime Coffee Rosters/ Bridge Street Studio
Welcome back to Talk of the Town, coming to you from the vibrant Bridge Street Studios in the heart of Nelson.
In this episode, hosts Chris Butler and Simon Duffy sit down with Emma Henna, co-owner of Sublime Coffee Roasters, and Nikki Neate, General Manager, to explore one of Nelson’s most exciting new CBD developments.
What started as a move from New Street has evolved into something much bigger — a thriving creative and business hub bringing together over 20 small businesses under one roof.
From coffee roasting and hospitality to creative studios, tech businesses, and boutique retail, Bridge Street Studios is redefining what a modern city space can look like. Emma and Nikki share the journey behind the transformation — from an abandoned nightclub to a dynamic, community-driven destination — and how collaboration, creativity, and local investment are shaping the future of Nelson’s CBD.

The Talk of The Town – Simon & Chris | Mayor Nick Smith, Nelson City Council
Welcome to another episode of Talk of the Town, where we celebrate the stories, people, and businesses that make Nelson, New Zealand, so unique.
In this episode of Talk of the Town, Chris Butler and Simon Duffy are joined by Mayor of Nelson Hon Dr Nick Smith to discuss the city’s direction, challenges, and opportunities as it moves through a period of change.
Mayor Smith reflects on his journey into a second term, highlighting the progress made in building a more unified council and setting a clear vision for the future. Central to that vision is the revitalisation of Nelson’s CBD, major infrastructure upgrades, and a renewed focus on economic recovery.
The conversation explores key projects including Bridge Street redevelopment, the future of Civic House and library, and exciting potential developments along the waterfront. It also looks at how Nelson can learn from other cities, strengthen its local economy, and support businesses through seasonal and global pressures.
