Thompson Memorial Cultural Centre Incorporated

Thompson Memorial Cultural Centre Inc., to give it its formal name, was established in 1974 through the joint initiatives of the Levin Borough Council as it was then and a steering committee of citizens from many societies and clubs. In order to make the best use of a fine building (the former home and surgery of a respected and long serving Doctor, Dr Jim Thompson) the Council presented his house which they had purchased to the people of Levin as a cultural and arts centre. So Thompson House provides the Horowhenua with a unique venue for the presentation of visual and performing arts and crafts, and hobbies groups and meetings including quilt makers, embroidery, lace makers, cake icing, music, book launches, and poetry readings to name but a few. Commercial groups and Government Departments use rooms for meetings and seminars.
