Welcome to Level 5

Situated within a modern award-winning building at the top of 263 High Street in the heart of Christchurch’s central business district, Level 5 is a unique facility for a conference or workshop, performance or special event. Natural light floods into the venue during daytime, offering panoramic views across city skylines to the Port Hills and … the centre really comes alive at night!

Level 5 caters for 10-220 people with many set-up options available. Contained within the venue are a large open floor space, reception area, mezzanine and balcony, and wheelchair lift between areas. Whether you require seating for a seminar, a more intimate setting for a corporate launch (or lunch), a networking after-five event, or large open spaces for an exhibition, the setting and location will not disappoint.

From a simple morning tea to a working lunch, buffet dinner and cocktail platters, we have our own commercial kitchen on-site and Chef can be available to cater your function with menus tailored to suit your needs and budget. Special dietary needs are catered for too.

Level 5 hire fees (GST exclusive)

A bond is required when making a booking.

Included in the hire fee is theatre style seating for up to 180, or table seating for up to 150. Seating plans can be configured to suit your function using a mix of large round, small round and oblong tables.

Level 5 is also equipped with a data projector and fixed screen, video/DVD, a microphone and a sound system. These and an onsite technician can be available to assist, and glassware, cups and saucers, plates, water jugs and coffee plungers hired for a modest fee.

Three parking buildings are located close to the venue, one of these offering a special discount for after-hours parking.

Because of our inner city location, security is required for all functions held out of school hours, and provided by the School’s security service at an hourly rate to the hirer. The length and type of function will determine the number of security guards required.  Level 5 is a totally smoke free environment.

But seeing is believing!  And we would love to show you around.

Contact us for an information pack, booking inquiry, or to make a time to view our facilities and discuss your requirements in more detail.

We look forward to welcoming you to Unlimited Paenga Tawhiti and Level 5.
