Hosting overseas visitors, entertaining a business associate, or just planning a great night out with friends, Newmarket has options for everyone. Theatre, film, art galleries, recreational activities, fine food and delectable drinks, find it all right here.

There’s a reason why Newmarket has its reputation as Auckland’s most fashionable district, and the excellent shopping areas and retail outlets, world class fine dining and boutique bars all make Newmarket the most exciting Auckland suburb to explore. Head to Westfield Newmarket’s rooftop bars for a round of after-work drinks, or grab a pre-movie meal at The Candy Shop in Osborne Lane. There’s plenty of live music on offer too, check out the line ups at pubs such as The Lumsden, The Claddagh and Danny Doolan’s. Or sit down and enjoy the soulful sounds of Spain at Tasca on Nuffield Street.

Newmarket has been a commercial hub of Auckland for more than a century, bustling with new innovative and well established businesses and industries. There is a vibrant hustle around the precinct with people living, shopping, dining and working in the neighbourhood.

Home to several of Auckland’s finest art galleries and museums, you’ll also find a number of spectacular public artworks dotted around the precinct. From prominent walls, to alleyways and statutes which take pride of place on Newmarket’s streets, take your time and explore these works of art up close.

Find some me time at one of Newmarket’s many gyms, yoga or pilates studios, or stop by the Olympic Pools for a quick swim or spa. If taking it easy is more your style, check out either of Newmarket’s bowling alleys, or catch a movie in one of our cinemas. Try your hand at the arcade games inside Archie Brothers Cirque Electriq or challenge a friend to a race in their Dodgem cars. You definitely won’t be bored again with all the entertainment here in Newmarket!
