Situated in the new Waitangi Park, the National Bank Festival Club is the heart of the Festival.

 

Club nights are filled with cool country, wild guitar and hot African rhythms; classical music on Tuesdays will make your lunchtimes extra special; and live jazz on Sundays round off three amazing Festival weekends. Get a taste of New York nightlife at DJ Spooky's dance party or head along to one of the free forums to hear him speak. The kids aren't left out either - the Club also plays host to 'the world's only stand-up comedian for children'. This is the place to mingle with artists, meet friends for a drink or a snack, and talk about the shows you've seen or are looking forward to. Whatever your fancy, be it a little bit of Irish or a touch of McGlashan, the National Bank Festival Club is the lace to catch Festival fever - morning, noon or night.

 

There is limited seating at the Club, so get in early for your tickets. Open daily 11am - 2am for the duration of the Festival.
