Taranaki Hockey and TET MultiSports Centre, Stadium Restaurant and Bar have teamed up to offer fun and food.
Starting April 15, Taranaki Hockey and TET MultiSports Centre, Stadium Restaurant and bar will offer children the chance to play indoor hockey, enjoy a meal with their parents or caregivers, and then watch a movie or club hockey.
Whānau Flicks and Feed is the brainchild of Ben Collier, who wanted to bring some traditions he learned of overseas back with him.
“Some years ago I played club hockey for a team in the Netherlands. The family involvement has stayed with me. Over in Europe the children would play some hockey and then have a meal before watching the premier clubs play. I thought it would be great to have that culture here. It’s a way families can fill up their Saturday and keep their kids active, with the promise of a delicious meal and entertainment afterwards.”
Ben says Stratford is the ideal place to trial the initiative.
