Need a big space for your event? Havelock North Village Green is available for non exclusive use. Click here to complete an application form.
Note: To use a council reserve, park or public spaces, a Temporary Event Permit for commercial or local community is generated from the online application. Applications are requested a minimum of 4 weeks before your event date for processing. The event date is recorded to minimise conflict of events and event activities are assessed to safely deliver to the public and place. Fees and a damages bond may apply. The bond is used to restore damage to grounds and/or assets, and refunded if not required.
Please note: Buskers, Annual Approved Collectors and wedding ceremonies/photos are free but still require an application to use to prevent conflicts. Parks, Reserves and Public Spaces cannot be used for wedding receptions.
The Village Green is a Green Flag Award-winning park. A Green Flag is an international mark of quality awarded to parks and reserves. There are 27 criteria against which they are judged, including management plans, community consultation and engagement processes, environmental and sustainability practices, horticultural management and succession planning, safety, and how accessible and welcoming they are to their communities. They are judged each year to ensure the parks are being consistently improved and continue to meet the needs of their communities.
The pavilion is the former Havelock Village Green Cricket Pavilion, a historic building moved to its current site and refurbished in 2016/17.
Parts of the building are home to Run/Walk Hawke's Bay (Hastings). The main rooms are available for hire. They include kitchen and toilet facilities and, through French doors, open onto the pavilion’s large tiled outdoor area. The pavilion is suitable for small events such as children’s birthday parties, small private functions or community group gatherings.
