Opening in 1887, Collingwood Town Hall boasts a 19th century gold rush-style classical design.
The ballroom is the venue's centrepiece. Its foyer entry and interior were refurbished in an Art Deco style in 1938. It is ideal for theatre performances, musical productions and warehouse sales.
The venue had an extensive renovation in 2014, bringing it into line with health and safety requirements, the Disability Discrimination Act and the Building Code of Australia.
Collingwood Town Hall is close to Collingwood Train Station.
