Although culture is certainly not what Queenstown is famous for, there is always something in the way of music or theater on offer and the situation improves greatly during the
Winter Festival (see
Special Events). Just outside the town center in Frankton, and easily accessible by car or bus, the
Queenstown Events Center, Joe O’Connell Drive (tel: (03) 442 3664; website:
www.qtevents.co.nz) holds concerts and sporting events.
Queenstown Events also run the other major venue in town, the
Queenstown Memorial
Hall, on Memorial Street, which stages frequent musical and theatrical performances in its large auditorium.
Reading Cinemas, 11-14 The Mall (tel: (03) 442 9990; website:
www.readingcinemas.co.nz) is a small theater in the town center which shows all the latest blockbusters. Alternatively,
Dorothy Browns, on Buckingham Street in Arrowtown (tel: (03) 442 1968; website:
www.dorothybrowns.com) is a classy boutique cinema showing quality mainstream and art house films, where moviegoers leave their spacious seats in the old-fashioned intermission for a glass of excellent local wine at the bar.
Queenstown and the surrounding areas are popular with filmmakers and have featured in several movies of late, including
Lord of the Rings and
The Chronicles of Narnia. To find out more about filmmaking in this part of New Zealand, visit www.filmqueenstown.com
