Since its opening in 1972, Christchurch Town Hall has become the internationally acclaimed cultural hub of Christchurch. The premiere venue of Ōtautahi is an iconic part of the city – spaces for connection, celebration, entertainment, trade and manaakitanga. From the historic to the contemporary, it has something unique to offer, and each plays a vital role of supporting Christchurch’s social, cultural and economic wellbeing.

Built in the 1970s and recently renovated, this venue combines modern design with its iconic original features that have influenced architecture on an international scale. Known for its exceptional acoustics, the Town Hall is Christchurch’s cultural hub hosting world-class performances, conferences and community events year-round.
