Thistle Hall is the name of a community venue in Wellington's Cuba Street, and home to a diverse range of arts events, creative activities, exhibitions, and workshops. It is owned by Wellington City Council, and co-managed through a dedicated charitable trust. Thistle Hall comprises a ground floor gallery space, which presents over 30 exhibitions and events each year. The recently renovated upstairs ballroom has an end-stage and capacity of around 180. This space is used by everything from capoeira and batucada groups, to new theatre productions and Fringe Festival events, to music and spoken-word festivals. Thistle Hall is located at the top of Cuba Street, two blocks from Wellington Arts Centre, and is next to the city's new inner-city bypass.
