Naming rights for the Warkworth Town Hall are on offer as part of a sponsorship package to fundraise for the hall’s restoration.
The Warkworth Town Hall Restoration Fundraising Committee needs to raise $300,000 to repay money it borrowed from the Rodney Local Board. It is offering a five-year sponsorship deal for a range of rooms and facilities in the hall, including everything from the stage and the main hall, to the kitchen and storage rooms.
Businesses will also be able to sponsor the fit-out, including retractable seating, stacking-chairs, stage curtain and a landscaped area outside. All sponsors will also be named on a town hall ‘champions board’.
A sponsorship evening will be held in October, where local businesses and groups will be able to sign-up as sponsors.
The trust borrowed $675,000 from the Board last year to fund an additional building attached to the hall, which will include a foyer, and to remove the old kitchen on the Neville Street side of the building. The trust has already raised $300,000 through a lotteries grant.
The hall is expected to re-open in November.
