A waterfront event venue inside Shed 22, a heritage-listed building on Taranaki Street in Te Aro, Wellington. The building once held wool, timber and flax, and at one time it was a working brewery. Its exposed brick, metal joinery, half-moon windows and sawtooth roof have been kept, so events take place in a room with real industrial character and harbour views.
The venue spreads across three levels. The Cable Room is a private, pillar-free space on the ground floor. The Waterfront and Te Aro Rooms can be used separately or joined into the largest space, which holds up to 650 guests. The Loft on the top floor suits smaller functions, workshops and social events. Two executive boardrooms, Tupuānuku and Ururangi, seat up to 8 and up to 14.
The venue offers event planning, catering and audiovisual support, and it can shape the room layout to suit the event. The website says inclusions depend on the room and the package chosen, so it is best to have the event details ready when you get in touch.
Guests can walk to public transport, accommodation and Te Papa, which makes it easy to plan a day that includes a conference and an evening out.
The venue is at 4 Taranaki Street, Te Aro. Our pick in Wellington for a corporate event or wedding that wants a waterfront setting with real character.
