Free Venue Hire Auckland

People need venues to celebrate, meet, teach and connect. But venues can be super expensive, which can discourage people from doing any of those things. What if venues offered their spaces for FREE? In Auckland, there are awesome venues that do just that. Let's look at a couple examples of spaces and see how free venue hire can impact the community positively!

You don't need to work in venue management or events to know this: people need venues. Whether it be gathering at larger events like wedding receptions and birthday parties, making things happen through business meetings and corporate events or just enjoying a great night of live music, venues are an important part of the social, economical and cultural fabric of our community.

But much like the current cost of living, venues and running events can be expensive. Some hireage fees can deter or even push people out of celebrating major milestones or meeting about important matters. So what are some great venues doing about this? Providing their spaces for free. Yup, you read it right - F R E E. Besides making the budget happy, free venue hire is super important to communities. They help people celebrate, further commerce and add to a city's culture.

How so, you ask? Using examples of two free venues in the Auckland region - the Eastdale Hub and Vincent St. Pop-up - let's see how the services these venues offer can positively impact their people:

1. Celebrations - The Eastdale Hub is the perfect spot for all kinds of functions. Planning a kid's birthday party? The family friendly venue has an upstairs and downstairs area that can be used for meetings and fun activities. Also, it borders Eastdale Reserve, if you want to take the party outdoors!

By providing free venue hire and even more low-cost options like self-catering, spaces like the Eastdale Hub can make celebrating major moments more accessible to people in their communities. These venues show that hosting wedding receptions, engagement parties or birthdays in a beautiful and functional space shouldn't mean breaking the bank - because what's most important is having a great time and connecting with the people you love.

2. Commercial Development

Auckland is the main business hub of New Zealand. While many businesses have their own spaces, some need to hire out rooms to meet, train staff and even provide services. For start-ups, hiring venues for these requirements can be expensive, which could deter the development of some cool initiatives.

The Vincent St. Pop Up are tackling this issue by providing spaces for free. Auckland CBD's Vincent St. Pop Up offers two rooms suitable for meetings; the Tuarua room and the Tuatoru room. Both have access to tables and chairs, with the former also offering a whiteboard and markers. Best of all, all this space has access to a kitchen for when you need a hot drink to get those team meetings flowing!

3. Cultural Development

A city is not without its culture, and Auckland is no exception. Whether its the theatre, art or live music scene, each creative venture adds character to the community - and its not just larger events either, like international acts performing at Auckland City's Spark Arena. Every class, rehearsal or group no matter how small makes up the culture of a place, and the more things are happening, the more vibrant a community is!

All of the above spaces are perfect for classes and workshops. The Tuatahi Room at the Vincent St. Pop Up even has a stage that can be used for all types of performances and rehearsals. Eastdale Hub's upstairs area is great for rehearsals and creative workshops. That's why free venue hire is important - without it, many groups who need space and certain facilities wouldn't be able to meet. Also, if venues are free, people running classes can offer these at a lower price or at no cost at all - offering people in the community who otherwise couldn't afford it access to learning and social opportunities.

1 + 2 + 3 = CONNECTIONS

All of these awesome impacts create a web of connections which turn a city into a COMMUNITY. This is the stuff that makes a place like Auckland thrive and become a hub that people want to get amongst. Free venue hire opens up a whole new web of connections for those that might not get access - and isn't that what community is all about?
