About this space

"All the world’s a stage" – As You Like It, Act 2 Scene 7

All the world’s a stage and our stage could be yours!

With spectacular views, heritage charm and premium facilities, Bell Shakespeare is an original, creative and inspiring destination for myriad events and functions. Exceptionally positioned on Pier 2/3, situated within the vibrant Walsh Bay Arts Precinct, we offer three versatile venues available for hire: The Seed, The Neilson Nutshell and our Boardroom + Green Room.

THE SEED is entirely versatile in and boasts access to a large private balcony overlooking Sydney’s iconic Harbour Bridge, making it the ideal location to entertain and impress.

The Neilson Nutshell and The Seed are adjoining spaces and can be hired separately for simple events or together for more complex events such as a dinner requiring a nearby kitchen, or a conference with a requirement for breakout spaces. Both venues can include access to two dressing rooms as well as the theatre foyer bar and cloakroom.

A blank canvas space, The Seed is a superb venue for a huge variety of functions and events that you can configure to your requirements.

FACILITIES:
- Exclusive private balcony with a spectacular Sydney Harbour Bridge view
- Full lighting grid with patching
- Kitchenette
- Wall-mounted video conference-ready screen

CAPACITY: Cocktail 200 | Sit-down 120 | Theatre 188

As a NFP your venue hire fees will directly contribute towards supporting Bell Shakespeare's mainstage, community and education programs.
