Transport World invites event planners, conference organisers and celebration seekers to step into immersive spaces where history, innovation and atmosphere combine to create unforgettable experiences. With two remarkable venues, Transport World transforms events into journeys that guests will remember long after the final toast.

Purpose-built for flexibility and creativity, these Invercargill venues are ideal for conferences, gala dinners, product launches, private celebrations and large-scale functions. Each space is supported by professional event services, cutting-edge technology and a location that is easy to access from the city centre and airport.

Set within the largest private automotive museum of its type in the world, Bill Richardson Transport World delivers a venue experience unlike any other in New Zealand. Surrounded by extraordinary collections and expansive galleries, guests are immersed in an environment that blends heritage with modern sophistication.

The venue features nine purpose-built event spaces with capacity ranging from intimate gatherings of five guests through to spectacular events hosting up to 1,000 attendees. State-of-the-art acoustics and advanced audio visual technology support everything from high-level conferences and corporate presentations to glamorous gala dinners and award nights.

For events with character, style and a strong sense of place, The Handle Bar at Classic Motorcycle Mecca offers an unforgettable setting. Located in the heart of Invercargill, this venue occupies two beautifully restored heritage buildings that showcase craftsmanship, history and old-world charm.

Home to more than 300 motorcycles, along with sidecars and significant artwork, Classic Motorcycle Mecca is a destination in its own right. Events hosted upstairs in The Handle Bar enjoy views over the award-winning Invercargill Central Mall, creating a vibrant inner-city atmosphere.

The space evokes the feel of a stylish loft surrounded by a collection spanning back to 1902.
