CY Courtyard at Collingwood Yards
About this space
The Courtyard is a dynamic, high-capacity and multi-functional event space located in the centre of the Collingwood Yards precinct. The Courtyard is the ideal location for a range of activities including exhibitions, installations, performances, markets, showcases, festivals, live music and parties.
CY Courtyard can be hired as a single space or as part of precinct wide activations and can be hired in conjunction with our other venues including CY Space and CY Venue
Courtyard hire can also include activation of the Circus Oz amphitheatre and shared thoroughfare for food trucks upon approval.
The Courtyard is a shared public space for all of our tenants and community to access but can still host ticketed events through the use of temporary barriers.
Whilst the space has no built in event infrastructure, some equipment can be hired from Collingwood Yards. We welcome activations and will work collaboratively with hirers, promoters and event managers to execute a range of engaging events.
External clients are welcome to hire our courtyard however we encourage you to work with our tenants on your events through services that they can provide to support your activations.

About Collingwood Yards
Collingwood Yards is managed by not-for-profit organisation, Contemporary Arts Precincts Ltd. Our office is located on Level 1 in the Johnston Street Building. Please make sure you’ve contacted us to arrange an appointment before dropping by.
Over the last five years our organisation has taken ownership of the former Collingwood TAFE site and invested more than $15m from philanthropy, government and commercial partners into its redevelopment. There is a crisis of affordable arts space in Australia and in Melbourne in particular. Most, if not all, of the not-for-profit tenants supported at Collingwood Yards have come under threat of having to relocate, to pay unaffordable rent or close if they are unable to secure an affordable base for their operations.
We believe that the importance of keeping a diverse range of artists and creative communities active in any city cannot be understated. The social benefits of arts participation are well documented and affordable space is a key part of supporting them. Collingwood Yards is both a transformational project for its neighbourhood and a proof of concept for our broader goal: to develop a new model of providing affordable and sustainable arts space in Australia.
Collingwood Yards is a Tagvenue Partner. This business has registered with Tagvenue and agreed to our venue partner standards.
