Circus in the Centre

We’re turning the lawn at Garden Place into a lively circus zone, offering free family-friendly sessions where kids and whānau can explore circus skills in a relaxed and welcoming environment.

What to Expect:
Circus tutors who can teach you juggling, hula hooping, spinning plates, and more!

A drop-in experience—stay for 5 minutes or the full 2.5 hours.
Activities for all ages and skill levels.

This event is hosted by the talented team at Black Sheep Circus Entertainment and proudly supported by Creative Waikato and the Love the Centre.

Participants can look forward to learning skills such as juggling, hula hooping, spinning plates, and more, with all equipment provided on-site. These free sessions are designed to promote community connection while supporting physical and mental wellbeing in a fun, relaxed atmosphere. Come along and be part of the magic—no tickets, no pressure, just plenty of fun under the summer sun!

It’s free, it’s fun, and it’s a great way to get active, connect with the community, and try something new.

Murder at the Party

You and your team meet for drinks and canapes at Sisterfields, located in the heart of the CBD on Victoria Street, Hamilton. Everything was going well when an alarming announcement is made over a speaker, "A body has been discovered near the bathroom and it is clear a murder has just been committed!"

Together you and your friends must hunt for clues, solve all the puzzles, and see if you can identify who the killer is!

Light canapes will be served on arrival, and you are more than welcome to book for dinner or dessert after the game. It's a great setting with live music to enjoy the rest of the evening.

If your team enjoys Quiz Nights or Escape Rooms, you will love this special puzzle-solving event! Keep your eyes peeled for more dates in the future
