Bledisloe
A fond part of Hamilton's history, the Bledisloe building offers versatility and indoor/outdoor flow with a lake on it's doorstep.
Previously known as the The Bledisloe Hall of Agriculture, the building was opened on 28 May, 1935 in Hamilton CBD, and was relocated to Mystery Creek Events Centre in the late 1970's.
The Bledisloe is an ideal, expansive indoor venue with doors that open up to a garden overlooking the charming lake and Heritage Village.
This versatile venue also allows for smaller functions in the reception area.
An ideal venue near Hamilton for hosting special family and corporate events, celebrations, conferences, meetings, or product launches.
