Community hall for hire with stage for performance, parties, groups

Te Puna Hall is a fantastic community venue for hire that works for so many uses and events. The hall has a large stage, backstage, a supper room, and a small kitchenette. This listing is for booking just the hall and kitchenette and does not include the commercial kitchen and meeting room. If you want to do a large event that requires catering like a wedding or conference we recommend booking the whole venue for exclusive use.

The hall space is bright and open from large windows and overhead lighting. It has sprung wooden floors - great for dance practice or rehearsals. The hall stage has heavy curtains, a generous backstage area and toilet, separate access to backstage, and a large black backing to the stage. The hall has a small supper-room, access to a deck and grassed area, and a small kitchenette. The supper-room is a great space for serving food e.g. an afternoon tea. The facilities are modern and brand new with everything accessible for wheelchair users, including a lift for the stage.

When making your booking, please include your set-up and pack-up time.

Food & Drink
The hall space hire comes with a kitchenette for basic food prep and serving. If you need a full kitchen, please hire the whole venue.
There is basic crockery and cutlery but we recommend you bring your own if you need a large number. You need to bring your own coffee, tea, milk supplies. The kitchenette has a small fridge, microwave, sink, and hot water boiler. You must leave the hall and kitchenette as you found it. You must remove your rubbish.

Alcohol
You can serve alcohol and BYO, however, you will need a licence to sell alcohol.

Decoration and Parties

You are welcome to decorate the hall space for your event. However, you cannot use pins, tape, or anything that would damage the hall walls. Blu tac is OK. For Indian weddings, you can have a controlled flame for your ceremony. Please note the hall must be left as you found it, so all decorations - including ties must be removed. Please no confetti, rice, or party poppers in the outside area. The hall internal or external space is large enough for a bouncy castle. It's fine to use an external event hire company if you want to bring your own furniture, table cloths, drapes, etc. All decorations and anything you have brought in for your event must be removed by the end of your booking. We can accommodate short-term storage if it doesn't clash with other hall users. Talk to us about what you need. Please book the time you need in the hall space to set up, pack down, and clean as the hall may be used directly before or after you.

Audio and Visual

The hall has overhead fluorescent lights. There is no inbuilt sound system or speakers, but you are welcome to bring your own. There is 3 phase power.
The space is great for bands and DJs but they need to bring their own amps, speakers mics, etc. There is roller door access to load and unload to the stage area.
There is no projector or screen, but BYO works well if you have a free-standing screen.

We would love to have more regular hirers in our hall space. If you're looking for a weekly or monthly slot, contact us for discounted regular hire rates.
