GrandWay Hall

Location: The GrandWay Event Centre

As one of the largest event spaces in Centre Wellington, we aim to impress. Built in 2020, the 3,800 square foot hall has a fully integrated audio-visual system to make your market or show come to life.

With large windows that look out onto the 53 acre property and access to a partially covered patio, this space has the ability to accommodate up to 250 guests. If this is more than you need, we can divide the room into a split of 110 and 130 people.

If the GrandWay Hall is not enough, it can be used in conjunction with any of the event spaces, grounds, infield, or patio.
