Kids Gaelic Games
An exhibition game will be played on Sunday to showcase the up-and-coming talent on the New Zealand Gaelic games scene. If anybody in your club is travelling with young children, they are welcome to join in. The kids goalposts will be set up all weekend if any aspiring players are keen to try their hand at Gaelic football and hurling.
The venue
Te Whiti Park is located in Lower Hutt and it’s a 20-minute drive from Wellington CBD, and a 30-minute drive from Wellington Airport. An Uber is approximately $30-$50, depending on where you’re leaving from. There are also some public transport options, but it does involve multiple stops.
Facilities
There are changing rooms and toilets on-site which will be available for everyone. There will also be marquees to provide shelter from the sun/rain.
Food & drink
There are clubrooms at Te Whiti Park, but we only have access to the building on the Saturday. The bar will be open from 12-5pm on Saturday.
A catering van will be on-site and they’ll be serving snack-type food and coffees. There are a number of food options close by, including a Subway, a café and a BP station.
Information
Our dedicated team of tournament organisers will be available at the information desk throughout the weekend. They’ll be keeping fixtures running on track, recording scores and generally ensuring everything is running smoothly. If you have any queries over the weekend, just come and say hello and we’ll do our best to help out.
Entertainment
Saturday
Hutt Valley Irish Society will be opening their clubrooms to all players once the games wrap up on day one. The clubrooms are only a 10-minute drive from Te Whiti Park. They’ll have the BBQ going and the bar will be open. We encourage all players to pop in for an hour or two after the games and take advantage of their fantastic hospitality.
Sunday
D4 on Allen is the venue for the afters on Sunday night. The bar is located in the heart of Courtenay Place and their doors will be open from 7pm. Drink offers will be available on the night and there will be a DJ pumping the tunes until the early hours.
COVID-19
We are currently in COVID-19 Alert Level 1 so we will have QR codes and a sign-in sheet on-site. We encourage everyone to use the NZ COVID Tracer app or sign in. Hand sanitiser will also be available.
