About Us

Capital city venues

We can accommodate all kinds of events, be it a gathering of 50 people or a concert for 6000. You can choose from over 20 meeting spaces - all adaptable to your individual requirements.

Our venues are location in the heart of the city. And all facilities sit right on the edge of Wellington's waterfront with breathtaking views over the harbour.

The Michael Fowler Centre and the Wellington Town Hall are next to each other and connected by air-bridge or under-canopy walkway. Both open onto Civic Square - an urban park bordered by the City Library and City Art Gallery.

The TSB Bank Arena is a mere four minute walk along the waterfront. This multi-purpose facility caters for tradeshows, corporate, sporting and entertainment events.

With our large number of venues and two large auditoria, we are a top destination for many large national and international conferences. We are home of the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra, and also host many international stars and local talent.

We are members of ICCA, CINZ, EVANZ, VMA and EMA
