Festive Season Hours

Over the festive period, our opening hours look a little different. Please check the schedule carefully so you can plan your visits and avoid any surprises.

Remember, Open Plus is available at Te Āhuru Mōwai, so you can still enjoy after-hours access even when we’re closed.

As we wrap up another amazing year, we want to say a huge thank you to everyone who has visited, read, created, volunteered and connected with us in 2025. Your support makes our community what it is, and we can’t wait to share even more with you in the year ahead.

From all of us at MCHL – thank you for an incredible year. We wish you a safe, happy and refreshing holiday season and look forward to seeing you in 2026!
