Introducing Confluence
Confluence is Whanganui's values driven coworking and event space. Our coworking desks and event facilities are designed and made available to you following our values of:
- Community
- Collaboration
- Critical Thinking
Confluence has become a place in Whanganui where people flow to, either enjoying working, learning, or discovering our wider world, often in new ways, and always in our peaceful, well maintained, and harmonious spaces. It is a place to be with your friends and our wider Whanganui community.
Find out more about what we provide to our Whanganui community by scrolling below, or use the menu above to delve deeper. We also use our Facebook page, and occasionally Twitter, for digital social interactions.
Confluence Coworking Desks
Confluence has been operating as a public coworking space for Whanganui since 2015. Over the years our desks and spaces have developed to become Whanganui's premiere business focused coworking space.

Confluence Events
Listed below are upcoming events, film screenings, courses, or other exciting things that will be happening at Confluence.
Confluence hosts, Kevin and Melita, are award winning filmmakers. They are proud to have developed their own boutique cinema space within Confluence, and are on a mission to provide documentary film screenings for the Whanganui community without compromise in facilities or technical aspects of the experience.
About Thoughtful Thursdays
Documentary film screenings are scheduled every Thursday evening at 6:30pm. For your comfort and safety our boutique cinema venue is for seated patrons only and seat numbers are fixed. So whilst $10 tickets are sometimes available on the door (cash only), we do recommend using the grey buttons below each film to reserve a seat or pay online beforehand. Films do sell out and those without reservations or tickets will not be permitted entry when this happens, sorry.
Films are shown strictly in line with NZ classifications, so do please check before you buy. We list NZ classifications at the bottom of the description for each film and in other places, or you can call us at Confluence on (06) 2813471.

We're delighted to announce that thanks to our friends at Blend Cafe & Fusion Restaurant, you can now enjoy a pre-screen dinner from 5pm, or you can grab a quick take-away coffee and snack to eat up in our cinema.

What others say about going with the flow at Confluence
'Confluence is my happy/go too space when I'm in need of a great work environment or facility. Everyone is always so welcoming and helpful and all the facilities I may need are there. You are made to feel like part of it and included rather than just renting a desk space. - Love it!'
