About Baycourt Community & Art Centre

Baycourt Community & Art Centre is Tauranga’s versatile cultural venue, operated by Tauranga City Council. Opened in 1983 by the then Prince and Princess of Wales, Baycourt houses three distinct spaces—the Addison Theatre, X Space, and Terrace Rooms—each offering unique configurations for live performances, community events, and private functions. Known for hosting international touring shows alongside local performances, Baycourt is a cornerstone of Tauranga’s arts scene.

Accessible, practical, and centrally located, Baycourt is designed to be easy to navigate for guests, with wheelchair spaces, a hearing loop in the Addison Theatre, accessible bathrooms, and assistance dogs welcome. Whether you’re planning a concert, a theatre production, or a corporate function, we’ve got you covered with straightforward ticketing and clear venue information.

Baycourt’s convenient location at 38 Durham Street, Tauranga 3110 places you in the heart of Tauranga’s CBD, within easy reach of parking, transit, and a selection of nearby hotels and dining options. We’re here to help you secure your seats and plan your visit with reliable, no-fuss guidance on parking, public transport, and local amenities.
