Te Papa VenuesWāhi Te Papa
Situated on Wellington's waterfront, Te Papa offers light-filled, flexible event spaces framed by harbour views, where every event sits among award-winning exhibitions and the taonga of the nation.
From conferences and meetings to weddings and school balls, our bicultural approach works closely with local iwi to create a true sense of place, while our award-winning chefs showcase locally sourced ingredients from iwi-owned and regional suppliers.
Our expert team also manages Tākina, Wellington's Convention and Exhibition Centre, delivering venues mahi for both locations under the name Tākina Events. All event revenue is reinvested back into Te Papa's exhibitions, collections, and cultural work.
