While there’s a huge selection of spaces available in Sydney, it might seem difficult to find a venue that fits all your criteria. But worry not, we’re here to help! 

Galleries and function rooms are perfect for smaller exhibitions. Imagine showcasing your creations at an airy showroom with a view of sparkling Darling Harbour, for example! These spaces will allow you to create a more private, exclusive feel. Artsy cafes and studios are a good alternative, too.

Exhibition halls and convention and conference centres work best for major events. If you’re looking for something flexible, with plenty of space to arrange your stalls and exhibits while still leaving some breathing room, they are your go-to! You can also make use of their professional sound and lighting facilities.

Whatever type of venue you choose, you’ll want to check if it allows ticketed and promoted events. You can do that using our smart search filters! 

The simple answer is: most of them do. However, the offerings might vary, so make sure to read the fine print! Some exhibition venues are situated in areas with free on-street parking and nearby private parking lots, for example, Flow Studios on Denison Street. If you’re looking for a space with on-site parking, consider a space like the CommBank Stadium, which has 500 parking spaces available at the venue!
