Opening directly onto the forecourt, the Nave offers space for your family and friends to gather before the service and for you to greet them afterwards.

Dedicated in 1973, the Gothic inspired space, with high vaulted ceilings, distinctive arches and polished wooden floors, is used regularly for smaller Cathedral services. The Chancel combines the grandeur of the Cathedral with the intimacy of a smaller space. Guests are seated at either side of the aisle, facing each other, with an open view of the gathering.
Capacity: 130 seated comfortably, 150 maximum. The Bishop Selwyn Chapel is the newest venue at Holy Trinity Cathedral. The glass-walled Chapel, designed by Auckland architects, Fearon Hay, overlooks the Trinity Gardens and the Selwyn Oaks. It also boasts a spectacular view of Maungakiekie/One Tree Hill.
