About
The brand-new, purpose built, state-of-the-art Waikato Regional Theatre sits on the banks of the Waikato River in central Kirikiriroa, Hamilton. This major cultural development is led by the Waikato Regional Property Trust, who own both the building and the land it stands on. The theatre respectfully integrates the heritage façade of the Hamilton Hotel (1865-1985) and acknowledges mana whenua: Ngāti Wairere, Te Haa o te Whenua o Kirikiriroa, and local iwi Waikato-Tainui.
Managed by global live entertainment leader Live Nation, operators of Spark Arena and The Tuning Fork in Auckland, and San Fran in Wellington, the Waikato Regional Theatre is poised to become a cornerstone of the national performing arts scene. The Waikato Regional Theatre hosts a diverse range of performances across all artforms, from flagship New Zealand performing arts to international artists and local community groups.
Waikato Regional Theatre is committed to being an accessible and welcoming space for everyone. Our facilities include:
