Huge flames, incredible stunts, a real-life bed of nails - it’s a show to keep every member of the family on the edge of their seat!

When: 11th November 2017
Where: Isaac Theatre Royal, Christchurch

We look forward to seeing you there!

Pay It Forward
Nanogirl believes that science is for everyone, and the Nanogirl Labs team work hard to ensure that tickets to our Nanogirl Live! events are affordable. Despite those efforts, for some New Zealanders, theatre shows like this are still very special events that do not fit within the family budget.

Through our 'Pay-It-Forward' programme, you can help make science and engineering accessible for everyone. For every 'Pay-It-Forward' ticket you purchase, you enable someone who would not otherwise have had the chance to see this live science spectacular to come along. Only available via the Regent Theatre box office.

Halloween is creeping up! Our recent Halloween Survey has revealed what New Zealanders REALLY think of Halloween. Did you know that only 1 in 10 households give out healthy snacks to trick or treaters, or that our favourite thing to dress up as is a ‘witch’?

We found out that some participants have some pretty wacky costume ideas like; ‘Donald Trump', ‘an inflatable flamingo’ a ‘popcorn vendor’ and ‘grumpy grannies’. Comment below with what you'll be dressing up as this year!

My house is 257 Knowles St and he said he was meant to be painting at 275 Knowles St so because he was dyslexic he got the numbers mixed up. He was a brown man, with black hair, short to medium build, average build. He was wearing a high vis and a dust mask around his neck. I'm a builder and he looked suspicious. I did interrogate him because I was suspicious, he did got defensive and left the property. So when he left I went down to 275 Knowles Street and he was not there, so I had a look around the neighbourhood and could not find him.
Please be diligent, if you see this man again please call police. I suspect he was going to burgle us.

Whether you're hitting the street to trick or treat, or staying inside with the the candy bowl by your side - here's some Neighbourly Halloween tips to ensure that this Tuesday is a fun and safe experience for you and your neighbours!

1. Set up a Halloween Group for your street! Plan your Halloween evening with your neighbours to see what time everyone is taking the kids out. You could even co-ordinate matching costumes!

2. Download one of our SPOOKY Neighbourly Halloween posters to stick on your house or letterbox for if:
- You welcome all trick or treaters
- You want trick or treaters to stay away

3. Stay in areas of your neighbourhood that are familiar and are well lit. And although Halloween is supposed to be spooky, be careful not to frighten your elderly neighbours by popping out of the dark!

Stay safe and have fun!

- The Neighbourly Team
