Toitoi - Hawke's Bay Arts & Events Centre

Toitoi – Hawke’s Bay Arts & Events Centre is the cultural heart of Hastings. Comprised of five distinct heritage and modern buildings, Toitoi’s vision is to be the most vibrant and significant arts, cultural and events facility in New Zealand.

It is a world-class venue which hosts diverse audiences, including conferences, business events, theatre and performing arts, all within Hawke’s Bay’s heart and soul and its best-kept secret - Hastings CBD.

Situated within a district of creators, innovators and trail-blazers, we’re a city with its sleeves rolled up, getting the mahi done. Our centre hums with an underground cool, where game-changing businesses work alongside a thriving arts and culture scene, supported by our loyal locals and captivated visitors.

Toitoi is situated for both convenience and accessibility. With the historic Opera House at its heart, and innovative retail and hospitality on its doorstep, Toitoi offers a unique blend of awe-inspiring heritage architecture and modern technology. It truly is a venue unlike any other in Aotearoa.
