Queenstown’s new Men’s Performance Series

Be your imperfect best
This winter, Remarkables Park Town Centre is proud to introduce a new community initiative designed specifically for the men of the Wakatipu.
The Men’s Performance Series was created in response to recognising a gap in wellbeing support tailored to men in our region. We know that for many men, the mental load is real. The pressure to keep it together - to provide, protect, support, and succeed in work, relationships, and life - can be overwhelming. If you’ve ever felt that weight, you’re not alone.
This series is designed with that in mind: to remind men that strength isn’t about carrying everything on your own. It’s about finding the tools, support, and community to help you perform at your imperfect best.
Expect real conversations, practical strategies, and a supportive space that helps you show up fully in life for those around you, but even more importantly, for yourself. These two-hour lunchtime sessions are about showing up as you are, not striving for perfection, but learning to carry what matters with more clarity and confidence.
The launch event, proudly sponsored by Unichem Remarkables Pharmacy, features two powerful voices:
- Hayden Paddon, international rally driver and multiple New Zealand Rally Champion, will share insights from his high-performance journey and speak candidly about pressure, resilience, and growth.
- Samantha McBride, Men’s Health & Wellbeing Coach and co-founder of the Men’s Muster, brings science-backed strategies to help men strengthen their mental fitness and show up in life with more clarity, energy, and purpose.
Expect straight-talking, relatable advice and the chance to walk away with tools you can actually use. Lunch is included, and the vibe is relaxed, practical, and welcoming.
Tickets are just $10, with 100% of proceeds going to two important charities:
- Heart Kids NZ, supporting children and families living with congenital heart disease.
- Headlight, a local mental health charity doing essential work in our community.
