Why host your event at Fringe Common Rooms?

Keep it in the hall

As Trades Hall tenants, we’re proud to be part of the union community. When you host your event here, you’re supporting a values-aligned organisation. We work in the same building that’s long stood for social justice and equity, core values at the heart of everything Melbourne Fringe does.

Back the arts when you book this room

Every event at Fringe Common Rooms helps subsidise rehearsal and development space for independent artists. Your function helps us fund the future of art.

A venue that works hard and flexes to your needs

With two distinct spaces, the Ballroom and the intimate Lounge, Fringe Common Rooms adapts to suit anything from all day AGMs to birthday bashes, strategic planning days to victory parties.

Run by the people who get it

Our experienced team will support you every step of the way, so you can focus on what matters.

Perfect for Union celebrations and milestones

Mark retirements, achievements, anniversaries and campaign wins in a space that honours your work and your values. Give your next event the home it deserves.
