More information

All the venues managed by Whanganui Venues & Events have multiple versatile spaces to suit a wide range of event needs.

Whanganui War Memorial Centre includes The Main Hall, Concert Chamber and Pioneer Room with all rooms serviced by a foyer area off the spaces as well as large entry foyer welcoming you upon entry. These spaces are also serviced with a large forecourt that can accommodate up to 70 vehicles, but is also ideal for outdoor events including car shows, parades, and festivals. The Centre includes dressing rooms, located on both levels, fully equipped with toilets and showers perfect for performers or break out spaces / smaller meeting rooms.

The Royal Whanganui Opera House is a landmark cultural icon and is one of New Zealand’s last Victorian theatres still in operation. Within this amazing building you will find the Lounge & Bar for that intimate gathering or cocktail event with doors leading out on to a balcony. The stage and auditorium has a number of beautiful features including comfortable contemporary tiered seating for up to 800 people over two levels and a stage that is 13.4m wide between the arch (including the wings) and has a depth of 13.4m from the back to front. The hidden gem at this venue is “The Annex” which provides a wonderful quirky backstage experience for small groups and events where you want a point of difference. Dressing Rooms are also featured within the building – perfect for performers but can also be transformed into break out spaces or smaller meeting rooms.
