Sir Howard Morrison Centre

The Sir Howard Morrison Centre is a performing arts hub in the heart of Rotorua.

Situated on land gifted by Ngāti Whakaue, the building holds considerable historical significance and now provides the community and surrounding regions with a wide range of education and performance opportunities.

An architecturally stunning blend of original Stripped Classical and Spanish Mission design combined with contemporary elements, the Centre is undoubtedly a diverse and elegant venue.

The original Municipal Building (1938) served as the civic centre and was converted into a convention centre in 1995. It became a performing arts venue in 2014, then closed to the public in 2017 for earthquake strengthening and refurbishing.

Officially re-opened in February 2023, the building is, once again, an asset for the local Rotorua community and New Zealand’s performing arts industry.
