Lower Hutt Events Centre

A quick 15-minute drive from Wellington City, the Lower Hutt Events Centre pairs a beautifully restored 1950s Town Hall with a modern events space, set in Lower Hutt’s heritage-listed civic precinct beside the picturesque Riddiford Gardens. With its native timber floors and elegant charm, the Town Hall is the perfect breathtaking space for Salsaotearoa’s performances and parties.
