Ashburton Event Centre offers state of the art technology throughout, a choice of three rooms for hire, along with a 500-seat auditorium. The Bradford Room can seat up to 100 guests and is situated on the second floor with stair and lift access. Equipped with its own kitchen, bar, projector, screen and sound system, this room is suitable for any type of function and is a great private space for meetings.

The Foyer, on the main floor, can host over 100 guest and again has its own kitchen and bar. It’s the perfect space for a get together.

The venue has an onsite technician who can help with any technical needs you have. We also ‘out hire’ meaning we bring our equipment to your office, garden or wherever your event is being held.

We offer staging, lighting, sound equipment, up to 70 inch tv’s or screens and projectors, plus a myriad of additional equipment to ensure your event runs smoothly. The team at the Event Centre pride themselves in going above and beyond to make your event as stress-free as possible as well as helping you every step of the way to ensure your event is one your guests will remember.
