Make Your Own Poi – Free School Holiday Activity at Hunters Plaza

School Holiday’s at Hunters Plaza 🥸
These school holidays, we’re bringing a fun and meaningful experience to Hunters Plaza for tamariki and whānau to enjoy.

From Saturday 20th September to Sunday 5th October, kids can make their very own Poi to take home — all for FREE!

📍 Location: Outside Kmart, Hunters Plaza
📅 Dates: Saturday 20 September – Sunday 5 October
🕚 Time: 11am – 2pm daily
💵 Cost: Absolutely FREE

This special activation extends our Māori Language Week celebrations, giving families a chance to explore a traditional Māori artform together.

WHY THE POI?
The Poi has deep cultural roots in Aotearoa. Traditionally used by Māori to tell stories through song and movement, it helps with coordination, rhythm, and is a beautiful symbol of Te Ao Māori (the Māori world). By creating your own Poi, you’re not just making a fun craft — you’re engaging with a living culture and celebrating the spirit of Mātauranga Māori (Māori knowledge).

Don’t miss a fun craft here at Hunters Plaza these School Holidays!
