Welcome To Thornbury

Bring your wedding, milestone birthday, Christmas celebration or corporate gathering to Welcome to Thornbury, an event precinct with a beer garden, private function spaces and an arcade in Melbourne's inner north. Choose a private setting for your guests or a semi-private area that keeps your group connected to the atmosphere of the venue.

For a larger celebration, the Greenhouse offers an industrial warehouse setting with its own bar, bathrooms and audiovisual system. It accommodates up to 400 guests for a cocktail-style event or 180 for a seated meal, and can host both wedding ceremonies and receptions. Natural light and a flexible open-plan layout give you scope to style the space for your occasion.

At the front of the precinct, the Showroom has a private entrance, its own bar, a stage, PA system and microphone. Book the combined space for up to 200 cocktail guests, or use its separate Cocktail Lounge for up to 130 and Showroom Bar for up to 70. These are alternatives within the same space. The Container Bar, Courtyard and retractable-roof Deck offer further options for relaxed gatherings, while the whole beer garden can host up to 450 cocktail guests. The full precinct has a cocktail capacity of 950.

Food can be part of the occasion, with canapes, grazing platters and shared banquet menus alongside the venue's rotating food-truck offering. Vegetarian and vegan choices are identified in the function menus; discuss your group's dietary requirements when planning. For another way to bring people together, the arcade hosts birthday and work-party groups, with children's parties also available.

The venue is easy to reach by public transport, with a tram stop outside and Croxton Station a short walk away. Children are welcome with a parent or legal guardian, subject to the venue's supervision and evening-curfew rules.
