Built in the 2001 to withstand the New Zealand climate, The Pacific Crystal Palace Spiegeltent is owned by a New Zealand consortium of festivals and is lavishly decorated with stained-glass windows, wood panelling and flooring, ornate lighting and mirrors.
It is similar to the European style 'mirror tents' of old, equipped with a stage, bar area and individual seating booths - though includes New Zealand, icons such as flax featuring in the stained glass windows, ferns on the mirrors and paua carved into its wooden pillars.
