Venue Profile

The Civic Theatre Complex is ideally located in the heart of the inner city of Invercargill. The 100 year old imposing structure is one of Invercargill’s landmark buildings and continues to serve as the cultural heart of the Southland community.

The Invercargill Town Hall, as it was then named, was opened in 1906. The Civic Theatre Complex as it is now known, recently benefited from extensive renovations. Originally built as municipal offices with lecture hall and a theatre, connected by the dress circle staircase, the complex has seen a number of refurbishments.

Historic Places Trust architects worked with theatre consultants to ensure that the renovations kept essential historic elements and the complex now features state of the art performing art facilities with unique Edwardian décor style surroundings.

The complex is popular for a range of activities including productions, ballet, opera, drama, concerts, public meetings and events, movies, conferences, weddings, corporate events, boxing and even gala dinners on stage!
