Claudelands Convention Centre, Kirikiriroa Hamilton, NZCorner of Brooklyn Road and Heaphy Terrace in the heart of Hamilton and on the eastern side of the Waikato River.
Claudelands is a Waikato landmark, redeveloped in 2007 by Hamilton City Council. Driven by the goal of creating a venue the Hamilton community would be proud of, the newly-developed Claudelands reopened in 2011.
The Claudelands site was originally inhabited by Ngati Wairere on an area renowned as native bird hunting ground – also known as ‘Te Papanui’ (a bird snarer’s seat). In 1886 a group of Hamilton residents, known as the Claudelands Syndicate, rented more than 80 acres from the Government and on expiry of the lease, purchased the land. Today Claudelands is host to a multitude of music, entertainment, sporting and corporate events. For the first time in the city’s history, Hamilton has a purpose-built facility capable of attracting a wide range of international events, and patrons will no longer have to travel to the larger centres to enjoy them. |
