Bunnings and Bluey raising funds for children
As Bluey-mania gripped Australia and the world, some Bunnings stores across Australia and New Zealand were transformed into real life ‘Hammerbarns’ after a popular episode of the hit children’s show.
Back in 2019, Bunnings worked with the producers of Bluey to inspire the Hammerbarn episode. The Heeler family visited a very familiar-looking hardware store in search of a pizza oven and garden plants.
With seven stores transformed into Hammerbarns, more than 110,000 kids experienced Bluey-themed DIY workshops, building sand art, creating kaleidoscopes and making friends with garden gnome husbands Gerald and Hecuba.
As part of the celebrations, Bunnings teamed up with Make-A-Wish Australian and Make-AWish Foundation New Zealand to host BBQs and help raise funds to grant wishes for critically ill children.
