A GREAT PLACE FOR ALL
Thanks to a grant of $500,000 from the
Lottery Community Facilities Committee,
work is starting on the upgrade of the Mount
Hutt Memorial Hall.
For more than 50 years, the Mount Hutt
Memorial Hall has played an important role
in the bustling Canterbury farming town
of Methven. Over the last year, it was used
by 49 groups ranging from the Methven
Community Board to the Red Cross Blood
Bank to the Methven Line Dancing Club. And
it hosted the town’s market day every month.
So it’s not surprising the Hall is now starting
to show its age and needs refurbishment.
While retaining the Hall’s memorial status and
role as a venue for performances and events,

the existing building will be extended and
upgraded to include an array of new facilities
for the enjoyment of the community and its
many visitors.
A dedicated group of locals have been
working since 2004 on a project to
transform the Hall. A purpose-built ‘Alpine
and Agriculture Encounter’ will house an
interactive exhibition to celebrate the two
industries (agriculture and snow sports) that
have shaped Methven.
The centre will also house the New Zealand
Snow Heritage Collection, a national
archive of snow sports history, memorabilia,
film and photography. There will also be
a small theatre and a Hall of Memories, a
permanent exhibition honouring those who
served in wars.
