The New Ballroom
Don't be confused by the name! The New Ballroom is so called as being completed in 1916, it is a good twenty years newer than the Old Ballroom, which now houses the Bella Union Bar. The New Ballroom has had a colourful history including a stint as the studios of radio station 3KZ, the first commercial radio station in Melbourne. Supplied as a 'Black Box' with staging flats, seating racks and an inbuilt sound & light system, the New Ballroom is ideal for a range of theatrical situations. Located next to the Bella Union bar the New Ballroom is able to be accessed directly from the main Lygon St Portico. Room capacity 350. Excellent venue for meetings, conferences, theatre and musical events. 6 metre ceiling. Double door entry. Multiple space configurations.
