Coworking Desks
Confluence Coworking
|
Confluence has been operating as a public coworking space for Whanganui since 2015. Coworking is being around other people in a professional working environment, whilst working on your own business. It's not like renting because you don't worry about the cost and commitment of maintaining an office, and it's not like working from home or a cafe because you and your business are the focus, where we provide a dedicated space for you to go to work, and most importantly, come home from.
Coworking means when you are at work you are at Confluence. So when you are at home, you are not at work.

Confluence cinema
|
Thoughtful Thursdays is about bringing audiences to documentary film, and documentary films to a Whanganui audience. Our 38 seat cinema space is a comfortable space to come together every Thursday evening at 6:30pm.
Some screenings may have on the door sales (cash only), but we do recommend using the grey buttons below each film to reserve a seat if you intend on coming along.

Finding Confluence
Confluence location

The public entrance to Confluence is near one end of Watt Street. Watt Street is the short street that the Regional Museum and War Memorial Centre are also on. So the easiest way to find Confluence is to go to the middle of Watt Street, which is the raised brick crossing and public gathering area, also known as Majestic Square. Our front door is about 30 metres along the same street, heading west or away from the river. You'll find the door on your left hand side, set back from the road surrounded by a small staff carpark.
You can also find Confluence using Google or Apple Maps by either searching for Confluence Whanganui, or the street address which is 15 Watt Street, Whanganui.
Our public door is open from 9am Monday to Friday, until 5pm. For events, workshops or films outside of these times the door will be open 30 mins before the advertised start time.
