Thank you so much to all those who joined us for Matariki at the Christchurch Irish Club!

 

We had a blast celebrating the Māori New Year with crafts, an information treasure hunt, a quiet space upstairs for reflecting and making wishes, and topped it off with a delicious Hangi. It was fantastic seeing new faces and catching up with friends. Thank you to all those members who helped make this a successful event.

 

Matariki at the Christchurch Irish ClubMatariki at the Christchurch Irish Club

Join us THIS Saturday 29th June to Celebrate Matariki

 

Time: 4pm - 6:15pm

Location: Christchurch Irish Club, 29 Domain Terrace, Spreydon

Cost: Adult - $20 / Child 12-18yrs - $10 / Under 12yrs - $5

 

This year we will be learning about the Matariki cluster and what they represent with a parent/child activity - an information treasure hunt! It is an activity for all. We will also have lots of other activities available such as string art with wool, wood and cardboard, colouring in and scratch art, along with reflecting on loved ones, and a wishing tree.

We will then enjoy a Hangi for dinner at 5pm. This event will be limited to 50 people.

It's important to the Chch Irish Society to continue exploring the links and connections that the Irish and Māori cultures have with each other, and therefore we thought it would be fitting to have an evening with Kai (food) and activities where we can all learn.

 

Don't miss out - book your tickets here!
