Grab your picnic blanket, gather the whānau and get ready for some movie magic under the summer sky!

This January, there will be a series of free, family-friendly outdoor movies to parks across Te Awa Kairangi ki Tai Lower Hutt. It's the perfect way to make the most of those long summer evenings, spend time with friends and neighbours, and enjoy a little big-screen entertainment in your own backyard.

Pack a picnic with your favourite kai or treat yourself to something delicious from local food vendors. Find a comfy spot on the grass, settle in and enjoy a relaxed evening of fun for the whole whānau.

Movies in the Park is coming to:

·       Walter Mildenhall Park, Naenae
