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 THE 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.
