Perfect networking or community venue for hire in Ponsonby

The foyer of the much loved local improv institution, the Covert Theatre is open for bookings during the day! The space is perfect for community groups, networking, team briefings, meetings and meetups, team coffee mornings or breakfasts and lots more. The theatre is in the heart of Ponsonby. Just 2 minutes walk from Ponsonby Central's famous food court and so many top 50 cafes and restaurants, this is a foodies paradise. It's also retail heaven with some of NZ's best love brands and indie shops close by.

The foyer space has cozy & comfy booths for informal seating for about 30 people. There is plenty of space to host an event where people need to move around and chat, for example, a networking morning. Our team can be available to serve barista coffees or you can pop to one of our many excellent neighbouring cafes before your event. There is no screen or projector, but the space is great for speaking or briefing a team. The booths also make this a good set-up for cards or game groups. It could also work well for writers workshops.
