Get the family involved this summer

Hamilton Gardens Art Festival

Hi locals! Looking for something to do with your kids this summer? The Hamilton Gardens Arts Festival has something to offer everyone – even the littlest of festival-goers.

The weekends are full of great kids’ events, from a toddler boogie and princess sing-along to the Family Fun Day on Saturday 23 February. Bring a picnic or grab something from one of our food trucks, and settle in for a day of free children’s films, a ukulele jam, and of course the classic teddy bear’s picnic.

We’d love to see you there!

Festival Co-Directors

Poll: What do you think of the new police move-on powers?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Central Hamilton businesses are welcoming police being given new powers to move on vagrants, with a city retail advocate saying the previous hands-off approach wasn’t working.

On Sunday the Government announced it would grant police powers to order any individual rough sleeping, begging, or displaying disorderly behaviour to move on.

Chiefs resist rushing Damian McKenzie back for Super Rugby Pacific final

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

The Chiefs are keeping Damian McKenzie on ice, with coach Jono Gibbes resisting the temptation to throw his star playmaker straight back into the fray against the Crusaders in Hamilton on Saturday night.

Having sat out the opening two rounds of the Super Rugby Pacific season on paternity leave following the birth of his first child, son, Louie, in the first week of February, McKenzie has re-joined the franchise for training this week.
