The Old Lodge has a vast collection of costumes and we can usually find a suitable “dress-up” for any occasion.

Also, Hokitika is fortunate to have a skilled seamstress in town who loves creating “old worlde” costumes, usually made on her renovated period sewing machines. The Society has benefited from her expertise and we now have several period costumes that are available for hire for special occasions.

Costume hire is open from the building at the rear of the theatre most Thursdays from 7pm-8pm. We are a cash only facility and a bond is required along with the hire fee for the costumes. Please make sure you bring some cash with you.

NOTE: Costume hire will be closed on September 15 and 22 while the HDS Theatre Restaurant is on.
