Event Space at Bighouse Arts
About this space
Event Space at Bighouse Arts is a warehouse-style private event area within a creative arts venue. The space's single defining quality is a large garage door that opens onto the street, creating direct indoor–outdoor flow.
Design: The interior is an industrial studio shell of painted brick and exposed rafters over a concrete floor. The ceiling carries pendant industrial lamps and festoon lighting, and tall windows introduce plentiful daylight into the high, airy volume.
Features: The space has a built-in PA system and speakers and allows own music or a hired DJ subject to noise restrictions. Wi‑Fi is provided and the entrance is step-free with wheelchair access. The floor area is open-plan and adaptable, and includes some lounge seating suitable for shoots or relaxed gatherings.
Ideal for: Creative collectives and production teams seeking a relaxed, flexible setting for informal standing receptions or production-focused shoots.
What sets it apart: A restored vintage Melbourne tram on-site provides a distinctive photo and activation opportunity.
What guests say: The space is welcoming and community-oriented, with abundant natural light and comfortable lounge seating. The space is roomy and flexible, supporting photography and filming use.
