It’s National Volunteers Week, 18–24 May 2026, and The District wants to shine a light on the volunteers who are the heartbeat of our ice sports community at .

You’re the ones who make the early starts, keep the games running, support athletes, welcome new skaters, and help ice hockey and ice sports in Victoria keep growing. From grassroots to semi-pro, your dedication brings the rink to life and helps draw thousands of fans to Docklands every year.

The District is proud to support volunteers through our partnerships with , , , Ice Sports Victoria, , Victorian Ice Racing Association, .ice.women, Melbourne Figure Skating Club, Victorian Curling Association, and Ice Skating Victoria, including free parking for volunteers as a small way to say thanks.

If you’ve volunteered at O’Brien Icehouse, tag someone who deserves a shout-out.

We’re celebrating 1 year at The District 🙌🎉 A year ago, opened at The District Docklands because Anthony Wu saw something Docklands has plenty of: busy professionals who want to feel better, but don’t have time for guesswork. What’s happened since is the part worth celebrating. People who were “always on” have found a place to switch off, train with purpose, and leave with their mind as clear as their body feels strong.

Habitat’s answer is a smart pairing of strength training and mindfulness, so the session doesn’t just push you physically, it helps you reset mentally, too.

Habitat Mind Body’s mix of strength training and mindfulness is built for real life, not gym life, and it’s why it’s clicked so quickly with the local community. That’s also why the Docklands Social Run Club collaboration with The District Docklands and Habitat Mind Body makes so much sense, bringing people together by the water, then finishing with recovery breathing and coffee.

Happy first birthday, Habitat Mind Body. If you’ve been meaning to get fit and get your headspace back, Docklands now has a place that gets it. 👀

Save this for your “start next week” era, tag a mate who needs a reset, and check out to book a discovery call.

Mother’s Day at The District Docklands is sorted, and it doesn’t have to look like a panic plan.

Start with flowers that actually say something at Blooms By Flawless, then level up the gifting at Crown Duty Free with fragrances, watches and premium picks for her. From there, choose your celebration style: a relaxed table booking at Urban Alley Brewery with a complimentary glass for Mum, a big shared feast at YASSAS with a three-course banquet designed for the whole family, or a hands-on, laugh-out-loud day out where Mum plays free at Archie Brothers and Strike with code MUMFREE when booking online. If you’re planning around little ones, Little Builders is in the mix too with a Mother’s Day special that keeps the kids happy and Mum feeling celebrated.

However you do it, The District is your all-in-one Mother’s Day destination in Docklands, Melbourne for gifts, dining, and family-friendly fun. Head to the website guide for the full lineup, inclusions, and booking links.

🍽️ Kids Eat Free at YASSAS 🍽️

More flavour for the whole family

Weeknight dinners just got a whole lot easier (and tastier). From Monday to Thursday at dinner, kids 12 and under eat FREE with every main meal at YASSAS.
Because great food is better when it’s shared… especially with the whole family. 💙
✨ How it works
Order any main dish (including mains, traditional plates, sharing platters or Feed Me) and receive a kids meal FREE.
Mum and dad can share a Gyros Platter and get two free kids meals (we recommend the Greek Snack Pack).
From quick dinners to full family feasts, YASSAS has you covered.
Bring the family. Let YASSAS handle the rest.

Good food, good company…and one less thing to think about.
T&Cs apply. See yassas.com.au for full details.

ENHYPEN fans, Melbourne just got a new spot.

The official pop-up merch store is now open at The District Docklands, and day one is already giving main character energy. The queue is real, the hype is louder, and the merch is the kind of “I need this before the show” situation. Think hoodies, beanies, collectibles, and those shot glasses everyone keeps pointing at.

We chatted to fans who’ve been here since I-LAND, fans securing pieces for their besties, and even someone who flew to New Zealand to see them and is now backing it up with Melbourne. That’s commitment.

If you’re heading to Flemington this weekend, make this your pre-show stop. There’s exclusive merch you can’t get anywhere else, and once it’s gone, it’s gone.

Save this, send it to your concert crew, and we’ll see you in Docklands.
