Dunedin Centre Facilities

The Dunedin Centre and Town Hall is one of New Zealand's largest and most versatile and interesting conference venues, able to cater to small groups of 10 or up to 2300 people.

The complex is perfectly suited to the needs of single and multi-venue conferences and events. The unique combination of flexible venues with technology and acoustic treatment enable simultaneous functions and conferencing.

Accessibility

There are two disabled accessibility entrances to the conference facilities and Town Hall, with lift access is available to all areas and ample toilet facilities (including disabled toilets) throughout the venue complex.

The largest of the Dunedin Centre's facilities, this versatile auditorium can be used for conferences, concerts, live performances, balls, or social functions accommodating up to a maximum of 2,300 people.

The venue features a built-in stage (which can be extended to suit the client's needs) and excellent acoustics. It also has 2 soloist rooms (dressing rooms), a green room and a choral room backstage.
