The Civic - Unique event space for hire

The Civic is an opulent and unique venue, perfect for gala dinners, cocktail parties, ceremonies, and awards events.

Built in 1929 as New Zealand’s first purpose-built cinema for “talkies,” The Civic is one of the world’s few remaining atmospheric theatres, making it a treasured Auckland landmark.

Following an extensive refurbishment in the late 1990s, The Civic blends 1920s glamour with modern technology, creating a unique and memorable experience for guests.

With its striking Indian/North African-themed foyer, sweeping double staircases, and ornate bars, the venue offers a dramatic setting ideal for large events. Each room within The Civic is distinct, enhancing the atmosphere and sense of occasion.

Whether hosting a cocktail function or an awards ceremony, The Civic’s unique charm and grandeur make it a standout choice for special events.
