Haere Mai
St Peter's Village Hall is a much loved community venue. It was built in 1918 for the Anglican Church and has been used by the Church and the Community since then. In 2007 it was sold to the Paekākāriki Community and is now run by the Paekākāriki Community Trust.

Hall restoration work to date
The Trust raises funds for the Hall's renovation and upkeep. Since 2012 major restoration work has been done, including rewiring and installing a contemporary lighting, heating and cooling system. The toilets have been upgraded, the interior painted, and a new commercial-style kitchen has been installed. The stage upgrade includes a Public Address system (incl Cordless Mics), a projector and screen, theatre lighting and red velvet curtains. A large deck has been added that can accommodate a 6m x 3m Marquee which is now available for hire. The Hall floor has been replaced with new Matai floorboards, using recycled weather boards from a house in Te Aroha and Nae Nae. This will ensure the Hall will be able to be enjoyed by the community for many years to come.
Landscaping has been completed by buildng steps on the south side of the property allowing easier access to the Bike Library, and connecting the property from Ames Street to the deck. Wifi has been installed.
Upgrades continue to occur as and when finances are available.
Voluntary input from Village residents into the Hall is vital to ensure these upgrades.
