About the Business
The Mercury Theatre, located at 9 Mercury Lane in Auckland, is a renowned establishment and point of interest that has been captivating audiences since 1910. However, we regret to inform you that the theatre is currently closed until 2025. This temporary closure is necessary as we are undertaking a significant refurbishment and earthquake strengthening project to ensure the safety and longevity of this historic venue.
Since 2019, we have been collaborating with a team of engineers, architects, consultants, heritage specialists, and experts from the music industry to develop a comprehensive plan for the Mercury Theatre's restoration. Our aim is to preserve its iconic status and ensure that it continues to be a cherished venue for generations to come.
To make this ambitious project a reality, we are seeking your support in raising $24 million. The funds will be allocated to two distinct stages. Stage 1 involves raising $14 million, which will be dedicated to the much-needed earthquake strengthening and refurbishment of the theatre. Stage 2 aims to raise an additional $10 million to complete the comprehensive restoration work.
We invite you to join us on this journey to preserve the Mercury Theatre's grandeur and cultural significance. Since its inception, this theatre has delighted countless families and provided cherished memories for over 113 years. By contributing to our fundraising efforts, you will play a pivotal role in ensuring that future generations can experience the same joy and nostalgia that we have all enjoyed.
We extend our gratitude to the companies and consultants who are actively involved in the redevelopment of the Mercury Theatre. Their expertise and dedication are instrumental in ensuring the success of this project. Together, we can breathe new life into this historic venue and create a space that will continue to captivate and inspire audiences for years to come.

Reviews
"Such a fantastic building with tons of culture. A cozy theatre just big enough for the medium sized event. While awaiting the upcoming performance the theater itself gives so much to look at and admire. Parking building around the corner but tight streets, may suggest Uber to your event."
"Nice ambience & a cheap night car park ($12) is just down the road which I was happy about. Great venue to listen to lovely sounds"
"First time visit to watch Deacon Blue perform their 30th Anniversary tour. Great venue to get up close to the performers. Only downside was the air flow as the building is over 100 years old but the sound was excellent. Balcony adds to the antiquity of the place and the band encouraged dancing even in the stalls. Please come back to NZ again . A++"
"Great small venue! Came here to watch Deacon Blue - awesome night! ... And awesome friendly staff too!"
"I had never heard of this place until we bought tickets to see the Teskey Brothers. The theatre has definitely seen better days but it is still a good venue. It seems great for music as it is quite small and intimate. Wine was pricey though $12/glass! I would visit again"
