In 1876, Kumara was booming with gold fever - and the Theatre Royal opened its doors.

150 years later, those doors are still welcoming travellers, locals, cyclists and history lovers from around New Zealand and the world.

This year, we’re celebrating a century and a half of stories, characters, conversations, meals, music and West Coast hospitality.

If these walls could talk, we suspect we’d be here a while. πŸ₯‚
