Purchase a Chair

The Chairs residing in the main body of the Cathedral (Nave) are available for 'purchase'. That is, for a sum of $345 NZ, a plaque with wording of your choosing, may be attached to the chair, to remain there in perpetuity. These chairs were manufactured locally and constructed of native rimu timer recycled from the Pyne Gould Corporations old woolstore in Moorhouse Avenue. The chairs have been upholstered in a colour scheme complementing the Cathedral interior and are modelled on the original 1881 design. There are over 400 chairs in total and around 150 of these are yet to be named.

Purchasing Naming rights to a chair is a lovely way to:

• Honour the name of someone you love and respect
• Celebrate a family anniversary or special occasion
• Give an imaginative gift
• Mark a special event for your church, school or club.
• Invest in the city’s future for your company or business venture

All donations are tax deducatable

Please contact the Cathedral for an application form.
