Hawke’s Bay has it all: wonderful weather, picturesque vineyard landscapes, golden sand beaches and vibrant cities. The Jewel in this region’s crown is the newly refurbished Toitoi - Arts & Events Centre in Hastings, which opens for bookings from March.
With the 105-year-old Opera House at its heart, Toitoi offers a unique blend of awe-inspiring heritage architecture and modern technology. It truly is a venue unlike any other.
Located in Hastings CBD, Toitoi is situated for both convenience and accessibility. We have a wide range of venue spaces, including our newly renovated Functions on Hastings space, which is completely indoors and can hold large banquets, expos and events. The Opera House itself is one of the top lyric theatres in Australasia and can be used as a plenary or for a small banquet on stage.
We have a number of other venue spaces including meeting rooms and cutting-edge, architecturally designed display and event areas. The second stage of the refurbishment, focusing on the neighbouring heritage Municipal Building, will be complete in early 2022 and offers a ballroom, business centres and additional fit-for-purpose meeting rooms.
At Toitoi we understand that your business is our business. From the moment you book your conference, meeting or dinner, we will work collaboratively with you to create a bespoke total event solution that exceeds your expectations and ensures all your goals are met.
The Toitoi team are committed to going the extra mile – our dedicated and experienced technical operations, catering and event co-ordination teams will pay attention to every detail. No request is too big, small or strange, as our creative thinking will ensure you get a solution that is uniquely tailored to your needs.
Toitoi Hawke’s Bay Arts & Events Centre – Honouring the past, nurturing the present and inspiring future generations.
Toitoi’s vision is to be the most vibrant and significant arts, culture and events facility in New Zealand. We are committed to honouring Te Tiriti o Waitangi and weave te ao Māori throughout our business.
With manaaki as one of our core values, you can count on the Toitoi team to give you outstanding customer service and a warm welcome. Our focus on sustainability and kaitiaki (guardianship) mean we are future-focused and always consider the wider impact of our decisions.
Our other core values include:
• auaha - creativity, innovation and curiosity
• rangatira - leadership, initiative and a willingness to challenge the status quo
• Kotahi tātou - we’re all in this together and believe that a sense of humour is key to achieving excellence
Our focus on being a next generation venue means we aim to provide diverse programmes which are accessible to diverse audiences. We are both a home and a host for our local and wider Aotearoa community, while also being both thought leaders and enablers. We strive to create new knowledge in our community which enhances cultural awareness, expression and understanding.
Our venue is also a learning environment through which we facilitate employment pathways for our Hawke’s Bay community.
With state-of-the-art lighting, sound, audio visual equipment and expert technical and support staff based on-site, technical packages of any size or description can be designed and installed to suit your exact requirements. Our creative backgrounds mean you won’t get cookie-cutter solutions – your event and its technical package will be unique to you.
Dish is the exclusive caterer at Toitoi. Dish is a diverse and highly successful catering company, which specialises in contemporary cuisine. The Dish team have many years’ experience in catering events of varied sizes. They will personally work with you to create a custom menu, specifically tailored to meet your needs and indulge your taste buds.
Opera House
The Opera House seats 981 people and features 240sqm of stage space, surrounded by an opulent Art Nouveau interior of awe-inspiring proportions. With state-of-the-art technology and a full range of services available, from event management to technical expertise and catering, the Opera House is the beating heart of Toitoi.
Functions on Hastings
Hawke’s Bays newest venue, Functions on Hastings, encompasses 660sqm of floor space with ground level access. The ceiling’s breath-taking artistic representation of the Makirikiri stream cleverly conceals rigging systems and utilities designed to make the largest venue at Toitoi a genuine multi-use facility, whilst offering modern style and easy accessibility.
Cushing Foyer
Adjoining both Functions on Hastings and the Opera House, the Cushing Foyer can be used in concert with either venue, or as a venue in its own right. Modern design, including digital screens, art features and two mezzanine floors, combines to create a truly unique venue which blends the best of technology and architecture.
