Confluence is within a modern office building that is high above Whanganui central business district. Our peaceful spaces offer panoramic views across rooftops to the distant mountains and sea.
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.
The building is also known for having WestPac bank, a dairy, and the new Postie store on the ground floors below Confluence, although you'll find their main entrances are only on the Victoria Avenue side, not Watt Street.
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 connected to Victoria Avenue, also known as Majestic Square. Our entrance is about 30 metres from here, heading west or away from the river. You will see it, a glass door, on your left hand side of the street. It is set back a little from the street front, and approached by a short footpath with two small steps, or you can also access it by walking through the small staff carpark besides the door, for a step free entrance.
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. You can also ask Siri or Alexa for more information about Confluence or Whanganui Cinema to find us.
We are open to the public 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.
