The exciting new multi-purpose venue will be bringing a buzz to the heart of town from May 2009, after the new cattle market development opens.
The venue will host a wide variety of events such as concerts, performances, exhibitions, wedding receptions (and we're looking to get licensed so we can have marriages and partnership registrations), dinners, dances, conferences, seminars, markets and dance classes.
The modern multi-purpose auditorium with its two balconies and full backstage support facilities will be fully accessible and have a state-of-the art floor and seating system. This means it will be flexible enough to cater for a multitude of functions, including:
-
500 people seated theatre style for performances and seminars;
-
1000 standing for concert performances;
-
up to 350 for dinner dances and wedding receptions; and
-
various combinations of conferencing set-ups.
In addition to the auditorium there will also be five smaller rooms that can be hired individually or as syndicate rooms. There's also a large range of equipment and services on offer so whether it's a small business meeting or large conference the venue will be able to cater for your individual needs.
The venue will be alive and buzzing seven days a week from mid-morning through into the evening. As you enter the venue's spacious foyer you will be greeted with a warm atmosphere while above, at first floor level and overlooking the public square, there will be a fully licensed bar and catering operation open to the public.
