The Builder's Fringe

Your city evolves before your eyes, but do you really know what is going on behind the hoardings? Do we know the history of the site? What technologies and materials are being used? How many U-bends go into a commercial build?

City-makers Willis Bond and LT McGuinness have teamed up with Maverick Productions and the Wellington Fringe Festival to turn a major CBD construction site into an interactive event space for The Builders’ Fringe.

Kicking off at the Victoria Lane Apartments site on March 8, The Builders’ Fringe turns construction action into a fun, free and fully commentated sporting event for members of the public.

An act of central city activation as much as street theatre, The Builders’ Fringe gives Wellingtonians the opportunity to see light-heartedly what’s happening on site and find out about the work that goes into building on a city-scale.

We will provide a free platform for people to watch the action... listen to informed & entertaining commentary... score the plumbers v electricians... watch the cranes & heavy machines do battle... Bring your whanau, friends or just your lunch to this unique public theatre experience.
