Toitoi Hawke's Bay Arts & Events Centre

At Toitoi we understand that your business is our business. From the moment you book your show, conference, meeting or dinner, we will work collaboratively with you to create a bespoke total event solution that exceeds your expectations and ensures all your goals are met.

With seating for 979 people and 240sqm of stage space, surrounded by an opulent Art Nouveau interior of awe-inspiring proportions, the Opera House theatre guarantees your guests a memorable experience. Hawke’s Bay’s newest venue, Functions on Hastings, encompasses 660sqm of floor space with ground level access. The ceiling’s breath-taking artistic representation of the Mākirikiri Stream, which runs beneath Toitoi, cleverly conceals rigging systems and utilities designed to make our largest venue a genuine multi-use facility, whilst offering modern style and easy accessibility. Adjoining both Functions on Hastings and the Opera House, the Cushing Foyer can be used in concert with either venue, or as a venue in its own right. The neighbouring category 1 historic Municipal Building opens in early 2022 and offers the art deco-style Assembly Ballroom, historic Shakespeare Room and additional fit-for-purpose meeting rooms. It also includes a laneway, as well as a mix of retail and hospitality tenants and newly created additional spaces available for public hire on the ground floor.
