Venue Info
Yours is a worker-owned and managed café and venue at 43 Moray Place that imagines a better food system and provides space for radical action, music, art and cooperation. Yours is operated and managed as part of ŌPCo (Ōtepoti Possibilities Cooperative).
While Yours and ŌPCo regularly organise events internally, we welcome others to imagine, organise, and host events at Yours, either independently or collaboratively, providing they are in broad alignment with our kaupapa (See ŌPCo manifesto).
We are an all ages venue and do not have a liquor license.
Here is some information about the facilities and processes at Yours:
Processes
Event bookings at Yours are managed on a case-by-case basis through the ŌPCo Events Syndicate, with respect towards:

3) The other functional operations on site.
When contacting us about an event, please make sure to communicate enough detail to help us understand its requirements and desired outcome.
