SUMMARY:Paul Ego: Stick Comedy Tour - Hokitika Regent Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Paul Ego ‘STICK’ – NZ Tour 2026 \nIt’s taken 30 years of performing comedy for PAUL EGO to get off his butt and do a solo NZ tour\, so this is both very exciting and long overdue! \nWell known for his many years as Team Captain on the TV show 7DAYS\, Paul has also been part of award winning Breakfast Radio shows for both More FM and The Rock. \nHowever\, his crowning achievement now seems to be voicing “Stickman”\, for PAK’nSAVE – something he happily admits is “the best job he’s ever had. \nSTICK\, is your chance to see “NZ’s” Top Professional Comedian PAUL EGO\, live onstage\, delivering maximum laughs as he talks stickability\, sticky situations and Stick-Men. \n“Ego is undeniably the Master of Improv\, his spells of banter with the audience showcasing his razor-sharp wit” (Yahoo Entertainment) \n“Paul Ego is a really funny man. A powerful performance by NZ;s top professional comedian and one of the highlights of my comedy festival” (Theatreview) \n“Paul Ego has proved to be 7DAYS quickest wit. He really should have his own fanclub” (NZ Herald)

SUMMARY:The Big Bike Film Night - Hokitika Regent Theatre
DESCRIPTION:The Big Bike Film Night is on a mission – bringing the best short cycling films from around the world together for you. Showcasing 2.5 hours of mesmerizing bike films that have everything a cycle-centric audience could want\, action\, drama\, humour\, and plenty of inspiration. The evening is unashamedly and utterly\, utterly\, utterly designed and devised to delight the two-wheel devotee! The 2026 treasure chest of films includes: – a dazzling mountain bike ride exploring the breathtaking landscapes of Norway\, embracing the magic of the midnight sun – a life-changing experience for two adventurous women as they embark to cycle to all the ski-fields in New Zealand in one gigantic attempt – an inspiring film that captures the wettest\, most miserable riding conditions imaginable – a film that playfully delves into the world of those taking cycling to new heights – celebrating fun\, silliness\, and creativity that comes with pushing boundaries on two wheels – a compelling story about perseverance\, showcasing the challenges and triumphs of navigating daily life following a life-altering injury\, and how adaptive design has transformed and enriched the journey forward – a moving movie that follows a father and son’s journey as they take on one of life’s most meaningful milestones- riding a bike together as a family – a bold and uplifting story of an adventure activist\, attempting to break the 24-hour Guinness World Record in downhill mountain biking- all to raise funds for reforesting foothills around Queenstown\, New Zealand. Her relentless pursuit not only pushes the limits of endurance but also becomes a powerful symbol of resilience and environmental commitment – and crowning the night off- we all love an underdog tale. This charming\, funny\, heartfelt film inspires us to believe that we all have the capacity to be unlikely heroes in our own stories. The audience is transported back to the nostalgic 1990’s\, to the slopes of the punishing Mont Ventoux\, in Southern France\, to witness the drama of a battle between two giants ALL in the mix! These short films are a great reminder of why we love to ride our bike; with stories that captivate us\, stories that move us\, and most importantly of all – inspiring us to get out and ride. All celebrate the fun\, adventure\, and joy that cycling enables. So…listen to the voice inside you; it’s telling you to go. Grab your mates\, GO ON…grab your bike and come along for the ride!! PREVIOUS ATTENDEE’S COMMENTS: “One of the most inspiring events of the year” “If you only have one night a year out\, make it this!!” “The Big Bike Film Night is always a wonderful\, eclectic\, wacky mix of films and I love it!” “If you haven’t experienced the cinematic excellence of The Big Bike Film Night – then YOU MUST!!!”

SUMMARY:Five Films for Freedom - Hokitika Regent Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special screening of Five Films For Freedom\, the world’s widest reaching LGBTQIA+ online celebration. A partnership between the British Council and BFI Flare\, London’s LGBTIQIA+ film festival\, Five Films For Freedom makes five LGBTIQ+ short films available to watch online for free anywhere in the world. Since its launch\, the films featured in the programme have been watched online by over 26 million people in more than 200 countries and principalities\, celebrating global stories in support of LGBTQIA+ communities around the world. Hokitika Regent Theatre is delighted to host this free public screening in collaboration with the British Council New Zealand and the Pacific. The films selected for this year’s programme are from the UK\, USA/Mexico\, France\, Vietnam and Brazil. I HATE HELEN (Dir. Katie Lambert\, UK\, 7 min) PG Priya hates Helen. She hates her in the canteen. Hates her in science. Especially hates her at swimming. Mostly\, Priya hates the way Helen makes her feel. A short film about the tidal wave of gay lust some girls feel in school and letting those feelings just wash over you. RAG DOLLS (Dir. Amy Adler\, USA / Mexico\, 12 min) U Married couple Rosalinda (born with spina bifida) and Diana (who has cerebral palsy) navigate life in Puebla\, Mexico\, where disability intersects with discrimination and poverty. Abandoned by family\, underserved by government support systems\, and facing persistent homophobia\, the women have built a life centred on mutual care and protection. Observing a single ordinary day\, the film follows their routines\, a romantic date\, and moments of reflection on their enduring love. ROOM 206 (Dir. Laurie Bisceglia\, 16 min\, France) PG After undergoing gender-affirming surgery\, Clair no longer cares what the world thinks. Reclaiming his body becomes a path toward self-recognition for the first time in his life. This documentary accompanies him not only through physical change\, but towards emotional renewal and a new beginning. SWEAT (Mô Hôi) (Dir. Edward Nguyen\, Vietnam\, 15 min) U On the eve of leaving rural Vietnam\, farm worker Hung prepares to illegally cross the border in search of refuge abroad. Defined by routine and labour\, his final day with Hoang\, a fellow worker\, reshapes his understanding of desire\, intimacy and selfhood. THEO (Dir. Monica Palazzo & Joana Galvão\, Brazil\, 15 min) U Brazil\, 1986. During the World Cup\, seven-year-old Theo quietly navigates school life while defying rigid gender expectations. Between silence and rebellion\, they begin inventing their own way of existing.

SUMMARY:Prima Facie - The Old Lodge Theatre
DESCRIPTION:We have big and exciting news: this March\, in conjunction with Arts on Tour\, we bring you PRIMA FACIE\, an award-winning play that tells an important story.This event is likely to sell out\, so secure your tickets today from ticketing link below! Age 14+ only.Acclaimed Oliver and Tony award-winning play\, Suzie Miller’s Prima Facie is an unforgettable story and one-woman tour de force that has the power to question the structure of the legal system and takes us to the heart of where emotion and experience conflict within the system as we know it.Directed by NZ acting royalty Michael Hurst and performed by Cassandra Woodhouse\, NZ Theatre Company is honoured to bring ‘Prima Facie’ to the New Zealand stage and continue the call to action that this story is demanding worldwide.The play: Tessa Ensler loves her job. She’s worked her way up from a working-class background to being a top criminal defense barrister at the top of her game – prosecuting\, cross-examining and winning in the courtroom with her quick wit and intelligence. Fighting to defend those pleading not guilty – including securing freedom for men accused of rape and sexual assault.Innocent until proven guilty is\, after all\, the bedrock of human rights.An unexpected event forces Tessa to confront the very system she has spent her life believing and working within – a system where the lines of patriarchal power and burden of proof are not set up to accommodate the lived experience of sexual assault survivors.Age restriction: 14 and up only.

SUMMARY:Hokitika Wildfoods Festival - 14th March 2026
DESCRIPTION:Hokitika’s Wildfoods Festival is a celebration of the West Coast’s unique wild food and lifestyle\, with premiere entertainment \nHokitika’s annual Wildfoods Festival is a celebration of the West Coast’s unique wild food and lifestyle\, accompanied by premier entertainment. Visitors can sample a wide array of local natural foods\, ranging from some of the weirdest and most exotic delicacies to fabulous gourmet specialties. What’s traditionally found in the heart of the bush and deep in the ocean is served up with a fork for the daring. Apart from hunting the mountains for pigs\, deer\, thar and chamois and fishing the sea\, keen stallholders have not left many stones unturned in their efforts to explore edible possibilities. Even garden weeds have been discovered as herbs useful in festival salads and beverages. \nThe festival first came into fruition in 1990 when Hokitika local\, Claire Bryant\, instigated the very first celebration of local wild foods. Her wine cellar was very well stocked with a home brew of West Coast gorse flower wine and people were clamouring for a taste of her rose petal brew. The first event also coincided with the 125th anniversary celebration of the birth of Hokitika in March 1990. Locals and the rest of New Zealand were captured by the magic of the idea – a celebration of Hokitika and the wild foods of the West Coast. \nOffering tunes for all tastes\, entertainment is comprised of a top line-up of New Zealand musicians playing the main stage. \nThose with a creative flair can enter Feral Fashion – a wearable arts style competition modelled on the racing circuits Fashion in the Field. Contestants get creative\, forage in their surroundings\, and create a wild alter ego to wear to the festival. \nIf children are not interested in sampling huhu grubs\, the Kids Corner will keep them occupied with face painting\, a massive inflatable pirate ship\, a candy shop and more. \nA TASTE OF THE WILD
