On Friday 1 May, the Parent Pathways Tamworth team brought the community together for a Family Movie Night, giving local families a chance to connect and enjoy a fun evening before the cooler weather sets in. 

Parents and their children from across Tamworth were invited to Bicentennial Park for a free outdoor screening of ‘A Minecraft Movie (2025)’. 

Families arrived with delicious picnics, camping chairs, and cosy blankets, ready to enjoy a fun night out under the stars.  

To create the full cinema experience, popcorn and juices were provided and a large outdoor screen, courtesy of Centacare NENW and headspace, was set up.  

The event was made even more special thanks to the support of local organisations, who enthusiastically contributed to creating a fantastic night for everyone.

Fillies n Colts served hot drinks and food from their food van, while Sora Community Services provided juice poppers and kept the children entertained with games like giant Jenga, noughts and crosses, and Tetris Tumble, as well as glow sticks to add to the excitement before the movie began. 

The Parent Pathways team also hosted an information stall, giving attendees the opportunity to learn more about Parent Pathways, a free voluntary service for parents and carers of children under 6. 

“It was a beautiful night that allowed families to get out and have some fun in the community before winter begins,” Sharon, Parent Pathways Community Connector, said. 

A big thank you to Sora Community Services, Fillies n Colts, Centacare NENW and headspace for their invaluable support in making this event such a success.
