Christchurch Meetings Venue

Our flexible spaces allow us to offer many different meeting options, from large numbers seated in rows or around tables in the Great Hall, to smaller groups in the Wananga room or elsewhere. Partitions allow for spaces to be divided or combined, allowing multiple smaller meetings at the same time. Participants can wander out into the Huritau garden between meetings, and be served light refreshments from the tea and coffee servery. There is also a full commercial kitchen for more substantial catering. Our in-house catering staff can offer a varied menu, from finger foods and platters to buffets and set menus, or you can organise your own catering.

Wireless internet access is available in all spaces and there is audio-visual equipment including live-streaming capability.
