Fitzroy Town Hall

Fitzroy Town Hall has a classical Victorian design dating back to 1873. It's a statement of the aspirations and burgeoning wealth in Melbourne during the gold rush era.

The venue was returned to its former glory in 2007, with heritage areas sympathetically restored. Modern improvements included adding a lift, commercial kitchen and heating and cooling.

This stunning venue is ideal for cocktail parties, balls and formal dinners.
