Kahutara Hall Centenary
Kahutara Hall is having its centenary on the weekend of 10/11th September 2021. We would love to have current and past residents celebrating this event. There is a specialised committee organising festivities.
On Friday the 10th 2-4pm, there will be a “high tea” in the hall with the local mayor Alex Beijen welcoming guests, Kahutara School pupils doing a 1920’s dance routine, the Featherston Gentlemen Singers, with delicious food served by the Kahutara Parent and Community group. Please contact: kahutaraparentsandcitizens1@gmail.com
On Saturday the 11th, from 7pm there will be a Ball and we are encouraging attendees to dress in 1920s attire. We’re excited to have HIBS Big Band, followed by The Shenanigans performing. A catered supper will be provided.
Please contact: kahutara100@gmail.com or 027 495 5003
Tickets for these events are on sale now. Purchase tickets sooner rather than later as numbers are limited.
Kahutara Hall was part of the Soldiers’ Club at Featherston Camp. Bought by the newly-formed Kahutara Hall Committee in 1921 for £300, the building was dismantled at the camp and re-erected on a site opposite Kahutara School, donated by William Bidwill. The committee used only a 60 foot (18m) portion of the purchase as it thought a bigger hall would be beyond its financial capacity. The committee also bought tables and chairs from Featherston Camp.
The hall is still being used for community events, playgroup, 21st, weddings, and many other group meetings/celebrations.
