About Club Envy
Club Envy is an R18 late-night nightclub and live music venue in central Blenheim, Marlborough (www.ticketfairy.com ). It opened in the late 2010s and quickly became Blenheim’s flagship club, bringing a big-city nightlife vibe to this wine-region town. The space features a modern, industrial-chic interior with neon lighting and exposed pipes – the kind of “modern, high-tech” décor more typical of Auckland or Wellington than small-town New Zealand (www.ticketfairy.com ). Though exact capacity isn’t officially listed, the venue is described as holding a “mid-sized” crowd – busy nights can pack several hundred people on the dance floor (www.ticketfairy.com ). Club Envy is notable for its quality production values: it has built a reputation for excellent sound and lighting that make shows feel almost like mini-festivals, even in a regional town (www.ticketfairy.com ) (www.ticketfairy.com ). In Marlborough’s nightlife scene – long dominated by pubs and bars – the arrival of Club Envy (along with a smaller competitors like Fairweathers) gave Blenheim a much-needed late-night dance venue. Aside from its neon-lit club nights, the venue has hosted a variety of music events and DJ acts over the years, making it an important part of the local entertainment scene (www.ticketfairy.com ).
Events and Programming
Club Envy’s calendar is typically filled with late-night club nights and music events. Most weekends (especially Fridays and Saturdays) feature themed DJ parties or guest-played sessions (www.ticketfairy.com ). The genres mirror mainstream New Zealand trends: house, EDM, hip-hop, drum & bass, R&B and pop are common (www.ticketfairy.com ). Local event promoters regularly book touring DJs and club nights at Envy (for example, a drum-and-bass DJ night was held there in October 2020 (www.ticketfairy.com )). In summer and during holiday weekends the club often stages special dance parties (it even runs an annual “Carnival” summer party) and extended holiday events like New Year’s Eve raves (www.ticketfairy.com ).
Besides pure nightclub dance nights, Club Envy occasionally hosts other events. At times the club has featured live local bands or music showcases, as well as genre-specific nights (reggae nights, Latin dance events, student party nights and the like) (www.ticketfairy.com ). Even tribute-band concerts (rock and metal cover bands) have been known to take the small stage in Envy, alongside the usual electronic music lineup (www.ticketfairy.com ). Because Blenheim lacks many large indoor venues, Club Envy is also sometimes rented out for private functions – company parties, birthday events, and farmer/dinner dances – giving it a broader role in the community. For fans of dance music and club culture in Marlborough, Club Envy is the place to go for anything from mainstream EDM nights to late-night underground DJ sets, making it a hub in the region’s entertainment scene.

Tickets and Booking
Tickets for Club Envy events can be bought online or at the door. Typically, advance tickets go on sale a few weeks before a show via local ticketing services (promoters will announce them on social media and local event listings) (www.ticketfairy.com ). Popular headlining nights often sell out, so it’s wise to book early. For example, a drum-and-bass event in 2020 had first-release tickets available about a month in advance (www.ticketfairy.com ). There is no walk-up box office on-site – most tickets are purchased through partner sites, promoters or via social media links (www.ticketfairy.com ).
If an event isn’t sold out, you can usually buy tickets at the door on the night. Cover charges vary by event. In general, early-bird or pre-sale tickets tend to be in the $10–15 range, while on-the-door prices are around $20 (www.ticketfairy.com ). A special headliner or festival night might push slightly higher. All ticket prices include the standard booking fees. Occasionally events offer “VIP” or premium ticket tiers (for example, a limited number of early-access or reserved-area passes), but most nights are general-admission standing. Always double-check the official event listing for exact pricing tiers, sale dates and age restrictions – Club Envy nights are typically 18+ only (www.ticketfairy.com ) (www.ticketfairy.com ).
Seating and Layout
Club Envy is configured primarily for standing and dancing, not seated audiences (www.ticketfairy.com ). The room features one large open dance floor directly in front of the stage/DJ booth (www.ticketfairy.com ). Along one side and the back wall there are bar counters for ordering drinks. Occasionally you’ll find a few low-seated booths or lounge tables around the edges, but these are quite limited. The floor area is mostly open, so the best places to take in a show are up front by the stage, or on one of the few raised platforms/steps at the back (www.ticketfairy.com ). These elevated spots let VIPs or late-arrivers see over the crowd.
From an audio perspective, Club Envy is known for surprisingly good coverage – even the back of the room can get clear sound thanks to careful tuning of the system (www.ticketfairy.com ). The speakers are aimed at the center of the crowd, so there’s minimal drop-off from front to back. If there is a live guest performer, they use a small stage (just a few steps up) at the far end of the room, with the DJ booth right behind. There is no upper balcony or full mezzanine – the club is a single big space. (Some events will cordon off a small VIP table/lounge area to one side, with couches and bottle service, but these are just a handful of tables. Those who reserve a VIP table usually get a dedicated server and seating near the front or on a platform.) Regular attendees mostly mingle at floor level, while those who want to observe often stand at the back corners with a drink – far from the most crowded area yet still part of the party.

Getting There and Parking
Club Envy is located on Market Street in the heart of downtown Blenheim, just a block off the main Queen Street shopping strip. It’s an easy walk from the central city area. There are several nearby public parking options managed by Marlborough District Council. On-street parking (zone 1) in the CBD is metered at about NZ$2.00/hr (www.marlborough.govt.nz ) (www.marlborough.govt.nz ) during the day (pay from 9am–5pm on weekdays, part of Saturday mornings); after hours and on Sundays parking is generally free (www.marlborough.govt.nz ). The Council-owned Alfred Street car park (multi-storey) is notable for offering all-day parking at $1.50/hr or $6 flat per day (www.marlborough.govt.nz ), and it is free outside of those hours. For example, the Wynen Street car park (near Alfred St) has around 190 spaces (about $1.20/hr, up to $4.80 max weekdays (www.parkopedia.co.nz )) and is just a short walk from Market Street. Many patrons use these council car parks or free street parking after hours.
By public transport, Blenheim is well serviced. The town’s InterCity coaches terminate near the i-SITE visitor centre (on Main/Scott Street), which is only a 5-minute walk to Club Envy (www.ticketfairy.com ). Local buses (Go Bus) all meet in the city centre; the main bus stops on Market and King Street are just a couple of minutes’ walk from the club (www.ticketfairy.com ). There is no underground or metro system – just regional buses and national coaches. For regional train travelers, the Blenheim railway station (on Main Street) is only about 300m away, a very short walk (www.ticketfairy.com ) (www.ticketfairy.com ). In practice, many people arriving at night will take a taxi or rideshare rather than waiting for a late bus.
If you prefer a taxi or rideshare, there are several options. Uber coverage is very limited in small towns, but Blenheim has local taxi companies on standby. There is typically a taxi stand near Market Street or King Street, and evening taxis frequently run through the CBD. (Some ride-hailing apps like Zoomy or Snap may operate here too.) On big event nights multiple taxis might queue up outside Club Envy. As a rule, plan your trip home in advance – either by calling a local taxi or arranging a pickup – because late-night public transit can be sparse (www.ticketfairy.com ) (www.ticketfairy.com ). On major party nights some promoters even arrange free shuttle buses from nearby towns (for example, Renwick) – check the event page or ask the club’s socials if a shuttle is running.
Inside the Venue
Entry to Club Envy is strictly 18+ and requires valid photo ID at the door (NZ driver’s licence, passport or Kiwi Access card) (www.ticketfairy.com ). Security staff conduct ID and bag checks on arrival – outside alcohol and any contraband (weapons, illicit drugs, fireworks, etc.) are prohibited (www.ticketfairy.com ) (www.ticketfairy.com ). Once inside, the atmosphere is typically friendly and lively – people are there to dance, socialize and enjoy the music. There is no formal uniform dress code, but patrons are usually in tidy smart-casual attire (clean jeans or a dress/shirt, casual shoes) (www.ticketfairy.com ) (www.ticketfairy.com ). Very sloppy or sportswear (like tracksuits, jerseys or flip-flops) is generally frowned upon. The club enforces a “no nonsense” policy: rowdy or violent behavior is swiftly dealt with by security to keep the night safe for everyone (www.ticketfairy.com ).
Inside, one or two long bar counters run down the walls to serve drinks. Expect city-bar prices: roughly NZ$8–12 for a beer or glass of wine, and $15–20 for a cocktail (www.ticketfairy.com ). Bartenders usually move quickly, though peak hours can get busy. Payment by EFTPOS/credit card is accepted (with a maximum limit), but having some cash on hand for tips or tabs is wise (www.ticketfairy.com ). As with all New Zealand bars, indoor smoking is banned by law (www.ticketfairy.com ) – there are no ashtrays inside. The club has a designated outdoor smoking area (a small fenced patio off the side/back) where smokers must go (www.ticketfairy.com ).
The venue has standard bathroom facilities: separate men’s and women’s toilets and usually one accessible (disabled) bathroom (www.ticketfairy.com ). On busy nights the ladies’ restroom can queue up, so it’s common courtesy to use the men’s if it’s shorter. The restrooms are kept reasonably clean by staff. There is no cloakroom or coat check, so most patrons simply carry small valuables or drape jackets on their shoulder rail; large bags are discouraged (www.ticketfairy.com ). Cellular phone coverage inside is generally OK (clubs often have a signal booster), but Club Envy does not offer public Wi-Fi – plan to use personal data for streaming or rideshare apps (www.ticketfairy.com ).
Later in the evening, Club Envy’s crowd is typically mixed: groups of friends, local 20- and 30-somethings, and students from Marlborough’s tertiary campuses. By midnight the club is often packed and energetic. Staff and security camera systems keep an eye on the crowd, and anyone who becomes overly intoxicated or abusive is usually escorted out. The management enforces a clear-age policy and zero-tolerance on harassment, so patrons generally feel safe. In short, expect a packed dance floor, strong music and an inclusive party vibe once the night is underway (www.ticketfairy.com ) (www.ticketfairy.com ).
Nearby Amenities
Club Envy is surrounded by Blenheim’s main hospitality precinct. If you arrive early for dinner or late-night snacks, you have many choices within walking distance. One block over (Alfred Street area) there are cafes and restaurants – for example, Speight’s Ale House (a New Zealand beer pub with classic pub fare), Duke & Deli (a café), and several international eateries (Indian, Mexican, etc) (www.ticketfairy.com ). On Market Street itself you’ll find Market Street Café (a popular daytime café) and Biddy Kates Irish Pub, both serving food and drinks that can tide you over until club time (www.ticketfairy.com ). Just behind the club on Elizabeth and Seymour Streets are wine bars and bistros – not surprising since Marlborough is New Zealand’s top wine region (www.ticketfairy.com ). Also note the area quiets down after about 9pm, so plan to eat early or pick up any late-night bites beforehand (some small bottle stores or late fast-food shops stay open on Queens Street).
For accommodation, Blenheim has several hotels and motels within quick reach. The Blenheim Central Motel and Picton Suites (on Ward Street/Old Renwick Road) are about a 5-minute walk away, useful if you plan an overnight stay (www.ticketfairy.com ). Taxis and shuttle buses link the central city with most Blenheim lodgings. If you need to leave town after a show, note that the main i-SITE visitor centre and long-distance bus station are only a few blocks south (roughly a 5-minute walk) (www.ticketfairy.com ) (www.ticketfairy.com ). Trains (the Coastal Pacific), buses and coaches all stop near the i-SITE/Main Street intersection (www.ticketfairy.com ) (www.ticketfairy.com ). However, most clubbers arrange a taxi or rideshare home instead – taxis often patrol the CBD at night and can drop off at your hotel or even out toward the vineyards. In summary, you’ll have no shortage of pubs, cafes and eateries for pre- or post-event dining, and basic lodging options are very close by (www.ticketfairy.com ) (www.ticketfairy.com ).
What Makes This Venue Special
Club Envy stands out in Blenheim for its atmosphere and production values. Architecturally, it’s one of the most modern, high-tech venues in town. The interior decked with neon lights, a raised sound/lighting booth and exposed-brick/metal finishes gives it the feel of “a mini-city-club” plunked down in a small town (www.ticketfairy.com ). For music fans, the venue’s powerful sound system and professional light rig really impress – shows here often feel very “big” for a regional bar, akin to a small festival stage (www.ticketfairy.com ) (www.ticketfairy.com ). Regular patrons say the club’s music and lighting create an electric vibe where the night “swallows you up”; DJ sets and dancing combine into what one might call a second-skin of atmosphere that fully immerses everyone in the experience (www.ticketfairy.com ) (www.ticketfairy.com ).
Culturally, Club Envy has become a key meeting place for Marlborough’s young crowd. Locals recall a time when Blenheim had very limited late-night music venues – Envy’s arrival changed that. It’s now known as the go-to spot for anyone looking to dance and hear music after midnight. The club also incorporates local flavor: during festival times or on special events it may feature Marlborough wines at the bar, local DJs, and even participates in community events. Despite the one tragic incident outside in 2021 (a serious stabbing that occurred in the early hours, unrelated to any specific performance) (www.chrislynchmedia.com ), Envy is widely regarded as a safe and important venue for the region’s nightlife. It has hosted numerous New Zealand acts and DJ talents over the years, creating many memorable nights for audiences. In short, Club Envy’s blend of cutting-edge club design, top-notch sound/lighting and a lively local crowd make it a special anchor of Blenheim’s entertainment scene (www.ticketfairy.com ) (www.ticketfairy.com ).
Visitor Tips and Information
Accessibility: The club entrance is street-level with no steps, making wheelchair entry generally possible (www.ticketfairy.com ). There is a designated accessible toilet inside the venue (www.ticketfairy.com ). If you require additional accommodations (like a ramp), it’s wise to email or call the venue in advance to confirm.
What to bring: You must bring valid photo ID (driver’s licence, passport or Kiwi Access card) – it will be checked at the door (www.ticketfairy.com ). Carry some cash for bar tips or small purchases, although cards are widely accepted (www.ticketfairy.com ). Dress in comfortable clothes and shoes suitable for dancing – high heels or boots can be tiring. If it’s winter, keep in mind there’s limited coat storage, so bring a small bag or wear a jacket you don’t mind carrying (www.ticketfairy.com ). Some patrons like to have earplugs if they’re sensitive to loud sound, and a reusable water bottle is handy (there is water available at the bar) to stay hydrated between drinks.
Avoid: Large backpacks or professional cameras (unless media-permitted) as these are usually not allowed. Do not bring outside alcohol or drinks – security will search for those (www.ticketfairy.com ). Anything dangerous is of course banned (weapons, fireworks, drugs). It’s against NZ law to smoke indoors, so plan to smoke only in the outdoor smoking area (www.ticketfairy.com ) (www.ticketfairy.com ). Finally, don’t skip your ID: even if a ticket says “all ages,” Club Envy strictly enforces an 18+ rule on all regular nights. If you’re under 18, you won’t be admitted and special youth events require their own clear entry rules.
Rules & Dress Code: Club Envy has no formal uniform, but the vibe is upscale-casual. Think tidy jeans or a dress, a nice shirt or blouse and clean shoes – roughly pub-casual rather than sportswear (www.ticketfairy.com ) (www.ticketfairy.com ). Costumes or very flashy outfits are only expected on designated theme nights (like Halloween party). Football jerseys, muddy work boots or gymwear would look out of place. Security reserves the right to refuse very sloppy attire. The overall rule of thumb is “if you look appropriately dressed for a good bar or pub, you’re fine for Envy,” whereas the super-casual gym-wear or wet swim shorts would be turned away (www.ticketfairy.com ) (www.ticketfairy.com ).
Other Tips: Arrive early on big nights (before 10–10:30pm) to avoid long entry lines. Once inside, note that Club Envy has about two full bars, so if one line is long you can try the other. There’s a small outdoor patio to the front of the club – stepping outside there for a breather (and a smoke if needed) gives you a view of Market Street and some fresh air (www.ticketfairy.com ). If you lose internet signal inside, club phone coverage is usually fine so mobile data and rideshare apps should still work. Lastly, if the event provides free water or snacks (some do), those are usually indicated in the event details or announced at the door.
Where is Club Envy located in Blenheim?
Club Envy is on Market Street in central Blenheim, near the intersection with Queen Street. It’s in the heart of the CBD’s entertainment district, just a block off Queen Street shopping.

How do I buy tickets for Club Envy events?
Tickets are usually sold online in advance through local ticketing websites or promoters. Big nights often sell out, so it’s best to book as soon as advance tickets go on sale (usually a few weeks before the event) (www.ticketfairy.com ). If an event isn’t marked as sold out, you can also buy tickets at the door on the night of the show (www.ticketfairy.com ). Note that there is no box office counter; ticket offers are handled via partner sites or social media links (www.ticketfairy.com ).
What are the typical ticket prices?
Ticket prices depend on the event, but generally early-bird tickets for Club Envy nights start around NZ$10–15 (www.ticketfairy.com ). Door sales on the night are usually about NZ$20. A special headliner or club festival night might cost more. All prices include any booking fees. Always check the specific event listing for exact pricing and any tiered ticket options (www.ticketfairy.com ).
What kind of events does Club Envy host?
Club Envy is primarily a dance club, so its schedule is packed with DJ sets and themed dance nights on weekends (www.ticketfairy.com ). You’ll find house, EDM, hip-hop, drum & bass, R&B and pop nights featuring local and touring DJs. In warmer seasons or holidays they host special parties (Carnival nights, New Year’s Eve, etc.). Occasionally the club also stages live bands or tribute acts, especially on student or genre nights (www.ticketfairy.com ) (www.ticketfairy.com ). In short, expect late-night club parties with a mix of electronic and pop music – clubbers mainly come to dance.
How is Club Envy’s seating and viewing arranged?
Club Envy is designed for standing-room crowds. There is one big open dance floor in front of the stage/DJ booth (www.ticketfairy.com ). Around the sides and back are a couple of bars and limited lounge seating. The best views are up front against the stage or on the small raised platform steps at the back (www.ticketfairy.com ). The club is mostly general admission, and there is no large balcony seating – VIP bottle-service tables are only occasionally set up to the side. You’ll mostly be on the floor with the crowd, so pick your spot depending on whether you want to be in the thick of it or near the walls.
Is Club Envy wheelchair accessible?
Yes, Club Envy is on street level with no steps at the main entrance (www.ticketfairy.com ). There is also a designated disabled-access toilet inside (www.ticketfairy.com ). In general, entry is possible for wheelchair users. If you need special assistance (like a ramp beyond the small threshold), it’s recommended to contact the venue before your visit. Note that, by law, venues built or renovated recently must provide accessible entry, and Envy complies with this standard (www.ticketfairy.com ).
Where can I park when visiting Club Envy?
Blenheim’s CBD has on-street and municipal parking. Kerbside parking (zone 1) is pay-by-plate at about NZ$2/hr on weekdays (www.marlborough.govt.nz ). On-street spaces are free after hours (evenings and Sunday). A nearby option is the Wynen Street or Alfred Street parking buildings (Council-run). For instance, Wynen St car park has about 190 spaces, about NZ$1.20/hr (max $4.80 on weekdays) (www.parkopedia.co.nz ) and is a short walk away. The Alfred St multi-storey offers cheap all-day parking (~$6 flat) (www.marlborough.govt.nz ). Late at night these off-street lots are free. Always check posted hours – pay parking runs 9am–5pm Mon–Fri (Sat mornings) in central Blenheim (www.marlborough.govt.nz ) (www.marlborough.govt.nz ).
How can I get to Club Envy by public transport?
Blenheim’s main bus stops are about a 2–3 minute walk from Club Envy (www.ticketfairy.com ). Local buses (Go Bus routes) all converge downtown. The InterCity coach service terminates at the i-SITE (Main/Scott St), also only a 5-minute walk from the club (www.ticketfairy.com ). The Marlborough train station (on Main St) is about 300m from Club Envy as well. In practice, very late-night travel often means taking a short taxi or rideshare from those hubs. (During daytime, you can use any buses stopping at Market or King St – they are a couple of minutes’ walk away (www.ticketfairy.com ).)
How do I get an Uber or taxi from Club Envy?
In Blenheim, Uber offers very limited service. Taxis are the most reliable: there are several taxi companies in town and usually a taxi stand near Club Envy (on Market or King Street) (www.ticketfairy.com ). On busy nights you’ll often see taxis queued up outside. You can also arrange a pickup by phone or use local apps like Zoomy/Snap if available. After late shows, most people plan a taxi or local rideshare pickup – friends with cars and hotel shuttles are also common choices to get home safely (www.ticketfairy.com ).
What are Club Envy’s age restrictions and ID policy?
Club Envy enforces a strict 18+ entry policy. You must be at least 18 years old and produce valid photo ID at the door (www.ticketfairy.com ) (www.ticketfairy.com ). Acceptable IDs include a New Zealand driver’s licence, passport or Kiwi Access card. Even if an event is advertised as “all ages,” the venue reserves the right to limit areas or times for over-18s. Underage patrons are not allowed in club events unless it’s a specifically advertised under-18 event, which is rare. (www.ticketfairy.com )
What is Club Envy’s dress code?
There is no formal uniform, but the dress code is upscale-casual. You should look sharper than gym clothes or workwear. Nice jeans or chinos and a shirt (or a dress/top and clean shoes) are typical (www.ticketfairy.com ) (www.ticketfairy.com ). Costumes or very flashy outfits are only for special theme gigs (Halloween, etc.). Very sloppy attire like sports jerseys, muddy boots or flip-flops would likely not pass. A good rule: dress like you’re heading to a nice pub or bar – not for a Sunday picnic.
Can I bring my own food or drinks into Club Envy?
No. As with all licensed venues in New Zealand, outside food and drink (especially alcohol) are not permitted inside Club Envy (www.ticketfairy.com ). Security will likely search bags to enforce this rule. You must purchase drinks at the club’s bar. (However, there are plenty of eateries nearby if you want to eat before or after up the street.)
Is smoking allowed inside Club Envy?
No. New Zealand law bans all indoor smoking in clubs and bars. Club Envy has no ashtrays inside (www.ticketfairy.com ). If you want to smoke, you must step outside to the designated smoking patio or area. Smoking anywhere in the club interior (including vaping or e-cigarettes) is not allowed.
Does Club Envy have a coat check or lockers?
No, Club Envy does not have a cloakroom or luggage storage. There is no coat check service (www.ticketfairy.com ). Guests generally keep personal belongings on them (small bags or jackets can be draped over railings). Large backpacks or suitcases should be left at home or in your vehicle. Plan to carry only what you need – the club is more an open dance floor than a seated theatre with storage facilities.
Can I bring a backpack or large bag?
Large bags or backpacks are strongly discouraged and often not allowed. Because there’s no coat check, staff may ask you to leave big bags in your car or outside. If you must bring something, keep it small – a purse or clear festival-style bag is okay. Security reserves the right to refuse overly large bags for safety and space reasons (www.ticketfairy.com ).
Are cameras or recording devices allowed?
Casual cameras (like phone cameras) are usually fine for personal photos. Professional camera equipment or video recording is generally not allowed unless it’s an official press or production gig. The venue reserves the right to confiscate or refuse any equipment deemed disruptive. Low-light, club-appropriate phone pics are acceptable, but flash photography or recording artists without permission is frowned upon.
What can I buy at the bar and how much are drinks?
Club Envy has one or two main bars serving alcoholic and soft drinks. Expect typical bar pricing: a beer or wine is around NZ$8-12, cocktails about NZ$15-20 (www.ticketfairy.com ). There’s no kitchen food menu, but snacks (like fries or nuts) may be available at the bar. Payment is by card or EFTPOS (some with a maximum charge), and tipping is up to you.
What restaurants or hotels are nearby?
Market Street is surrounded by dining options. Within a block or two are cafes, pubs and bistros (e.g. Speight’s Ale House, Duke & Deli, Market Street Café, Biddy Kates Irish pub, plus wine bars on adjacent streets) (www.ticketfairy.com ). For late-night food, Queens Street fast food places stay open. As for lodging, Blenheim Central Motel and Picton Suites are only a few minutes’ walk from the club (www.ticketfairy.com ). There are other mid-range hotels in the central city within a 10–15 min walk. It’s wise to book nearby accommodation in advance on event weekends, or ensure you have a reliable ride if staying out of town.
What is the capacity of Club Envy?
The venue’s official capacity isn’t publicly posted, but it’s described as “mid-sized.” In practice, a few hundred people can fit comfortably on the dance floor during peak events (www.ticketfairy.com ). Given its open layout, the crowd limit is reached when the dance floor is packed front-to-back. For special events, promoters will post the cap on tickets, but for typical club nights “several hundred” is a good estimate (www.ticketfairy.com ).
Is there free Wi-Fi or phone service inside?
Club Envy does not provide public Wi-Fi for guests. Cellular signals are generally okay (many clubs use signal boosters), so loaning on mobile data is the norm. Plan to use your own data plan for apps like ride shares or messaging (www.ticketfairy.com ).
