About this space

The Studio is a Function Room in Exhibit — a private, adaptable room organised around lounge seating and an open floor that can be arranged for standing or seated layouts.

Design: The interior has dark timber floors, low ceilings with exposed beams and deep-painted wall panelling. The room contains banquette-style seating, low tables and armchairs arranged along one side and directional lighting that keeps the space intimate.

Features: The room includes a dedicated bar area for private service, movable seating that can be cleared to create a central open area, on-site event staff support, Wi‑Fi, air conditioning and level access for wheelchair users. The venue can provide food and drink service through its in-house offering.

Ideal for: Groups seeking a relaxed, social gathering that mixes informal seated conversation and a cleared standing area for mingling and music.

What sets it apart: An in-room PA system is installed and the room can be booked for amplified music, with the option to hire an on-site DJ.

What guests say: The space is supported by organised, helpful event staff and flexible room options. The layout and service allow privately run events to proceed smoothly.

30th Birthday Party · 45 guests · September 2026
So easy to organise, venue happy for you to bring decorations/cake. Minimum spend is a lot more reasonable than most other venues. Easy to submit pre-orders and space perfect for both sitting and standing

Birthday Party · 50 guests · October 2025
Great space, own private bar, speakers already provided for easy hiring of DJ's
No security surrounding unwanted guests (i.e. general public or people from other events). Was not allowed to customise menu to tailor to the night (special orders, or changing names of drinks to accommodate the theme)
