General Information
Event Venue
TSB Showplace
The spectacular TSB Showplace has three venues within one complex - the TSB Theatre is an original three-tier theatre, the Theatre Royal provides an intimate setting with seats on a modern rollaway system and the Alexandra Room has excellent conference and exhibition facilities.
TSB Showplace is centrally located on New Plymouth's main street, 92-100 Devon Street West, in the CBD. See the location map
The theatre was originally built in 1883 and known as the Alexander Hall. It was enlarged in 1904 and sold to the New Plymouth Theatre Company and renamed the Theatre Royal. It was then destroyed by fire in 1916.
After being rebuilt it opened in 1925 as the New Plymouth Opera House. It continued mainly as a picture theatre until 1969 when it fell into disuse. Support from the Council and TSB Bank finally saw a refurbished theatre open in 1999.
Getting to Taranaki
By air, land or sea, Taranaki is an accessible region neatly poised halfway between Auckland and Wellington on the western seaboard of New Zealand's North Island.
The direct 45-50-minute flight from Auckland or Wellington will reaffirm your decision to visit Taranaki. Centred around a picture-perfect mountain, the lush regional countryside fertilised by countless eruptions over the centuries is simply stunning on a perfect day, framed on three sides by the endless Tasman Sea fingering the coastline with world-renowned surf swells. A scenic drive from major tourism centres such as Rotorua and Taupo, Taranaki enjoys full transport services by Air New Zealand Link and bus services.
