Evening everyone. Due to the state of emergency and current evacuations we've made the decision to close our doors tomorrow (Sunday 12th) in the interest of safety for our amazing customers and staff. All pre-purchased tickets have been refunded to the card they were purchased with, if you've paid cash for a session tomorrow flick us a pm and we'll sort you out.

Hoping everyone is safe out there over the next 24 hours ♥️

Hey everyone a bit of a stinker for us we have some of the team having to deal with some emergency situations this weekend so we're a little light. We've had to change our opening hours for tomorrow and will be running a little light on our feet for the rest of the weekend so please be patient and kind - you'll still get the A+ service you're used to, might just be a teeny bit slower.

New session times for Friday up at https://www.whakamax.co.nz/home

Thank you all for your understanding 💕

ICYMI.

Party at Whakamax tomorrow night. Bring your dumb mate so every time someone on screen does something stupid you can nudge them and whisper "you".

In fact tag your dumbest mate, we'll give away a double pass in the morning so you might even be able to bring them along for free.

And grab a can of "p**s" while you're here 🍻

The Tavern feature film

Props to the Whakatāne beacon for using the horse drinking P**s photo.

Great little write up before our show at Whakamax this Wednesday.
