WELCOME | HAERE MAI
Warkworth Town Hall has been a centre of community life for Warkworth, Kaipara & the Matakana Coast for over 100 years.
The recently renovated hall and facilities are available for everyone in the Mahurangi community to hire. We hope to see you soon.
In the Entranceway to Warkworth Town Hall stands an octagonal memorial to the members of our local community who fought in the Great Wars.
It lists the towns and villages in our community whose men & women ‘signed up’, were all farewelled and some welcomed home – at Warkworth Town Hall.
100 years on, the residents and families of these same communities have contributed to the restoration of this important local building, through their rates and donations.
facilities for hire
You can hire a range of newly refurbished rooms of different sizes for events large and small – from the main hall & stage which holds 125 people to the dress circle and our mezzanine conference room, which is ideal for meetings, auctions & boardroom lunches. There’s also a new kitchen for self-catering and a lift for disabled access.
support services
We can offer a variety of support options to help plan your event, promote it here on the website and on our social media. We can give advice about event planners, alcohol licences, access and support staff. We can even provide caterers – for everything from pies & canapés to a boardroom lunch or a wedding banquet.
Main Hall
The Main Hall has been the focus of large community events in Warkworth since 1911.It is regularly used for Theatre Productions, Music & Dance performances, Wedding receptions and parties, exercise classes and local Market days.
Stage
The Main Hall Stage is regularly used for Theatre Productions, Musical & Dance performances, Presentations and Meetings. It is included in Main Hall bookings but can be arranged separately (for pre-dressing etc), subject to availability.
Mezzanine
Conference Room
This fully renovated meeting room is used for meetings up to 40 people, presentations and boardroom functions. We can also offer an independent catering service to make this a easy space for a private boardroom presentation, lunch or office celebration.
Lobby
Our beautifully renovated Art Deco Lobby area can be used for displays and exhibitions of local arts, craft and displays of interest to our wider community. It can be used for installations, but not hired as a seperate facility – as it provides access to all other areas of the Town Hall.
Kitchen
The Kitchen is a light open room in the new section of the building, close to front door access, toilets and lift. It is regularly booked in combination with our other rooms – so you can provide catering for visitors & guests.
