Located in the former diesel shed of the old Roundhouse, the Performance Centre retains its original brickwork, picture windows, and large train doors, delivering charm, warmth and character to the space. The retractable seating and large retractable projector screen make this space ideal for diverse events-from dance and music performances, meetings and lectures, to weddings, receptions, and full-scale theatre.
While the room can be configured to meet the needs of your event, the space also has a default set-up that is ready to use. This configuration has bleacher seating, a stage area at floor level, and is equipped with a lighting and sound system. A few typical event layouts are included in the PDF links below as examples.
