Venues
Q is home to a curated programme encompassing the performing arts, presented by local, national and international producers.
Our flexible spaces thrive on inventive thinking, challenging practitioners to respond with compelling live performances that bring together artists and audiences. We want to work with the very best artists around, whilst encouraging and supporting the next generation. We want to stimulate, provoke, excite and entertain by connecting the performing arts to our city. Our building fuses heritage with contemporary design- it's home to an energy and spirit that is unleashed by all who come through our doors at 305 Queen Street.
Q is conceptualised, created and championed by the very performing artists who use our facilities. Our consultation with hirers and industry professionals throughout Q’s evolution ensures that our spaces are run in ways that truly nurture, grow and enhance our industries.
Our rehearsal room, Vault, is available for hire by any company looking for a rehearsal space smack bang in the centre of Auckland's CBD.
Whilst our primary purpose is as a venue for performing arts, Q’s spaces are also available for corporate or private hire. Our venues offer fantastic function settings to host conferences, parties, launches or networking events. We do not take bookings for weddings.
