Warm yourself in the heart of winter with a vibrant Lunar New Year feast. Let the Dragons team bring colour, flavour, and good fortune to a midwinter banquet designed to brighten the season. The table seats ten, your neighbours, your friends, strangers who are about to become familiar. Everyone stands to toss the Yu Sheng prosperity salad high into the air, and the chaos and laughter start. Then ten courses unfold: eight savoury dishes, each one imbued with symbolic meaning. Golden chicken for family unity. Whole fortune duck for fidelity. Crispy fish for abundance. Long-life noodles for longevity. It's food, luck, and togetherness served at once and you'll leave feeling blessed not only for the meal, but for this convivial and communal celebration. Your ticket includes the full ten-course shared banquet, a lion dance performance, and beverages throughout: welcoming tea, and three beers per guest.

Unwrapped: Whittaker’s since 1896 invites Chocolate Lovers behind the scenes to discover how a local maker became a global name. Set within the wider history of cacao production, the exhibition traces Whittaker’s story—from J.H. Whittaker’s founding vision and the iconic products that followed through to the company’s ongoing commitment to quality, beans-to-bar manufacturing and ‘Good Honest Chocolate’ values. The exhibition unwraps the story of New Zealand’s Most Trusted Brand and features objects to delight all the senses. Visitors will encounter nostalgic memorabilia and classic advertising, a scent station that reveals chocolate’s layered aromas and artworks made in collaboration with contemporary creatives. 2026 marks 130 years of Whittaker’s. What began as J.H. Whittaker’s small family business in 1896 has grown into a world-class chocolate manufacturer, still proudly family-owned four generations on and based in its original Porirua factory.
