Showtime Events Centre

Bring your wedding, corporate gathering or gala celebration to Showtime Events Centre in Melbourne's South Wharf precinct. Our warehouse venue combines heritage character with a contemporary event setting beside the Yarra, supported by the planning, catering and production experience of Showtime Event Group.

The main event space is 435 square metres. Published capacities are 600 guests for a cocktail event, 384 in theatre style or 280 seated. A seated arrangement with a dance floor is listed for 232 guests, while a cabaret layout accommodates 176. Confirm your preferred layout with our events team so the seating, entertainment and flow work together for your occasion.

The venue has been transformed with new architectural finishes, a redesigned feature bar and upgraded house and architectural lighting. These features give our creative and production teams flexibility to shape the atmosphere for dinners, launches, weddings and larger events, while retaining the building's original character.

Our team can help plan the guest journey, catering and the practical details around your brief. Event formats include conferences, gala dinners, corporate and end-of-year celebrations, cocktail gatherings and weddings. Menus and service can be discussed alongside the event design, with food and beverages selected to support the occasion.

Showtime Events Centre is a specific indoor venue. The neighbouring South Wharf Promenade is offered separately as an outdoor event precinct; its larger capacities should not be treated as the capacity of this hall. Tell us which spaces you need so we can discuss the appropriate proposal.

The South Wharf setting is close to Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre, public transport, nearby hotels and parking facilities. Share your date, guest numbers and event ideas with us to confirm availability, layout and inclusions.
