Spaces Available for Hire

Aldersgate Centre provides a unique modern space in the centre of Christchurch for a variety of functions and events, and is available for business and community groups to hire. From conferences and meetings, weddings and celebrations, to community gatherings and faith-group activities, we will have a space that works for you. Spaces and configurations are highly flexible, and being a new building you can be assured its seismic resilience has been constructed to meet Importance Level 3 (the additional seismic performance required, for example, for conference centres, stadiums and airport terminals) and it rests on seismically strengthened ground. Further information on specific rooms for hire is included below, and don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.
