About this space

The Lodge is an Event Space in the Deaf Institute, a compact wood-lined live room that places performers and audience in close proximity.

Design: The room presents reclaimed timber panelling, a worn timber floor and low ceilings punctuated by stage spotlights; patterned wallpaper and exposed brick provide contrasting textures.

Features: An in-room PA system and stage lighting support live performances and DJ setups. A cleared wooden floor functions as a compact dance area, while Wi‑Fi and air conditioning are available for guest use. Hosts may play their own music or bring an external DJ.

Ideal for: Small music groups, promoters or social gatherings that need an intimate, standing-orientated performance space with informal seating.

What sets it apart: A rear tiered bench section and a small side balcony provide raised sightlines within the room.

What guests say: The space delivers strong sound quality and an intimate layout with clear sightlines across multiple levels.
