About this space

Accommodating up to 600 guests, our Main Space is the largest event area at The Substation. The venue features lacquered timber flooring, high ceilings, exposed structural elements, and draped walls that allow for near-blackout conditions when required. Two adjoining rooms can be used as dressing rooms, breakout areas, or event support spaces.

Suitable for performances, rehearsals, workshops, fashion shoots, exhibitions, corporate events, and large-scale private functions. The space is complemented by a ground-floor foyer, providing additional room for guest arrivals, networking, or pre-event gatherings.
