Whole Venue: ONEONESIX

116a Bank Street has been a community hub for over 100 years. It is now home to ONEONESIX Trust, Company of Giants, Whangārei Fringe Festival and Beagle Radio. Every week the space is filled with community activity. We host theatre, music gigs, public talks, comedy, workshops, markets, choirs, hui, the odd banquet and more.

The hall is the main performance and event area. It is a multipurpose space with a beautiful old wooden floor, tall windows, lighting rig, and floor-to-ceiling blackout theatre curtains that turn the place into a lush canvas for events, hui and workshops.

The foyer is comfy & eclectic with lots of casual seating. It's a great space to host your guests before an event. The foyer is adjacent to a kitchen with a serving hatch.

The mezzanine is an extra nook above our foyer, which is great for a breakout space, extra seating for guests or just an extension of the foyer.

The backroom is a private space that joins into the foyer area. It's light and flexible with white walls and a carpeted floor. It can be a green room, rehearsal space or breakout area for your event.

What's included: Wifi, 110 chairs, cushions & sofas, use of the fully equipped kitchen is available for self or external caterers. It has hot water, an oven, microwave and a fridge.

Please note: We have a community radio station based at ONEONESIX. DJs may arrive to broadcast their show during your booking. All members understand the kaupapa of the space as an event and performance venue. The radio room is soundproofed and located adjacent to the foyer.
