VENUE HIRE

In the heart of the Melbourne Arts Precinct, our historic theatre could be the uncommon venue your next occasion needs.

With original architectural features and adaptable spaces, it’s an extraordinary alternative to mainstream conference facilities and reception centres. Our unique spaces – including two theatres, rehearsal studios, meeting rooms, a bar and a café – have been used for all types of events, from meetings through to product launches and full-scale conventions.

MERLYN THEATRE

OUR LARGEST THEATRE – UP TO 500 PAX

It features an orchestra pit and flexible seating, with the ability to offer reserved and general admission attendance. The Merlyn Theatre can seat up to 500 patrons on three levels.
