Looking forward to Australia Day, Maitland City Council will offer free pool entry to the Maitland Aquatic Centre and East Maitland Aquatic Centres on 26th January.

Part of the Council's Make it Maitland This Summer events program - that has included fun in the park events and activities at the Maitland Gaol, Maitland Regional Art Gallery and Maitland Libraries - the morning of Australia Day will see the Centres present a range of craft activities, food stalls and entertainment.

Later in the day, the Maitland Aquatic Centre will present a marathon of family friendly movies during a Dive in Cinema presentation.

Advising that this is a popular event on the Make it Maitland This Summer program, Maitland City Council Team Leader Events, Tori Evans stated “whether you bring your floaties and swimmers or prefer a cosy spot poolside, what better way to enjoy an enchanting summer evening under the stars.

“Before the movies start, enjoy a lineup of family friendly activities, including entertainment, tasty food options, free popcorn, lawn games and complimentary swim time.

“The Dive in Cinemas transforms the pool area into the perfect setting to finish off your Australia Day celebrations.”
