Welcome to Luxembourg Gardens



Welcome to Luxembourg Gardens, Auckland’s newest theatre and live art venue.

Luxembourg Gardens is administered by Arthouse Incorporated, a charitable organisation, providing a performing arts residency resource, the first and only of its kind in New Zealand. It is our aim to maintain an ongoing artistic residency for contemporary performing arts practices with particular emphasis on experimental and avant-garde work.

Located in the heart of Auckland City Britomart precinct, this centre offers resident companies public performance space, rehearsal and workshop space and business infrastructure resources. Open to all areas of performance based arts, Luxembourg Gardens creates an environment for cross-pollination of disciplines and a creative space for ideas development.

In addition to each of the resident companies, Luxembourg Gardens will be available as a venue to artists, musicians and touring productions either through individual requests of as part of space curation by the residents.

Luxembourg Gardens to this point has been entirely self funded by voluntary membership fees, small donations and the incredible contributions and elbow grease from members and their friends and families. If you’re interested in how you can help Luxembourg Gardens (cash donations are the best way and can mean the difference between a flushing toilet and a kilometre walk) or become a member of Arthouse, please contact the Head Gardener Hannah Clarke on 09 309 8692 or at luxembourggardens@gmail.com or the Mayor Stephen Bain at stephenbain@clear.net.nz. Details of residencies and upcoming performances can be found on our website (soon to be updated) or by joining our mailing list (simply post MAILING LIST in the subject line to luxembourggardens@gmail.com)
