The central section of Pātaka will be closed to the public from Tuesday 8 June, due to maintenance and strengthening work, but the rest of the building remains open to the public.
While this work is carried out, we won’t be taking any new bookings for the period of 8 June - 31 August 2021.
If you have a booking already in place, there may be some maintenance sound that may be heard from the various facility rooms around the building.
If you would like to submit a booking for September 2021 onwards, please use the online booking form. Currently all enquiries will be processed Monday to Thursday between the hours of 9am and 12pm until works are complete. We will be delighted to hear from you or show you the facilities at these times.
We apologies for the inconvenience.
