Amesbury School is a light and bright community hall available for convenient and fun kids birthday parties.
Party on!
The Amesbury School Hall is a big, bright and versatile space, perfect for your child’s next birthday party. With easy parking and access to a large kitchen as part of the hire, you don’t have to have the party at home! Now that our school bike track is open, you can have the perfect party entertainment right outside! We have spaces available throughout the day on Saturdays and on Sunday afternoons. Check the availability of your preferred date and time via the link below.
Get a group together for sport
The hall has courts marked out for volleyball and badminton, plus we have table tennis tables and a basketball half court. Nets, balls and racquets are all included in the hire, so all you need to do is to organise a group to get along and play. A great way to keep fit through the winter months!
Bake up a storm
Maybe it’s time to move your kitchen-based business from home to a commercial kitchen? Amesbury School’s certified commercial kitchen is available for hire at various times throughout the week for very reasonable hourly rates. Pop in and check out the space and see how it might work for you.

Celebrating International Volunteer Managers Day
We had a wonderful morning celebrating Te Whanganui-a-Tara volunteer managers at our International Volunteer Managers Day breakfast event.
It was inspiring to bring together local change-makers to discuss this year's theme: 'what's our future normal?' We shared reflections and aspirations for how we can play a role in shaping a stronger and brighter future for the voluntary sector.
Thank you so much to our generous sponsors Lighthouse Cinema, t leaf T, The Candle Shop, Wonderland Chocolate, Zealandia and Oat Cafe.
