The scene
The Victorian Trades Hall sits grand on the corner of Lygon St, nestled between the equally historical facades of Carlton and the glistening, modern skyscrapers of the CBD. Just up the stairs is Fringe Common Rooms, with its sweeping high ceilings, polished wood floors, and a mirror ball that promises a good time! With a perfect mix of heritage and modern features, the Ballroom is a highly customisable space that offers room for you to do YOU, while having enough inbuild pizazz that a good time is guaranteed. The Ballroom is historical, it’s vivacious, and it’s effortlessly energetic.
At the back of the room sits the Lounge annex. With its gorgeous mid-century furniture and soft green walls, this room is a blast from the past. With west-facing windows offering attractive afternoon sunlight, and an army of retro lamps providing those late-night cozy vibes, the Lounge works excellently as a complement to bigger bashes in the Ballroom.
