The Malthouse is a magnificent historic 140+ year old brewery that was converted into a theatre in the 1980s and has since been home to Melbourne's leading theatre company of bold and innovative new work, Malthouse Theatre. The Malthouse houses two theatres, rehearsal studios, meeting rooms, a bar and a café, all in the heart of Southbank.
Host your next big event in the same space where Malthouse Theatre creates, entertains and shatters expectations. In the heart of the Melbourne Arts Precinct, the historic venue could be the uncommon venue your next occasion needs. With original architectural features and adaptable spaces, it’s an extraordinary alternative to mainstream conference facilities and reception centres.
