The Roundhouse is a unique combination of arts centre, recreation facility, and historic landmark.
Originally a repair shed for train engines, the Exhibition Hall retains much of the original post and beam architecture, and even some railway tracks which remain embedded in its polished concrete floor. Natural light, high ceilings, and the floor-to-ceiling windows provide a dramatic space, well-suited for large gatherings, parties, exhibitions, trade shows, conferences, performances and weddings.
Located in the former diesel shed of the old Roundhouse, the Performance Centre retains its original brickwork, picture windows, and large train doors, providing the space with charm, warmth and character. The retractable seating and accessible windows with retractable blackout blinds make this space ideal for diverse events, from dance and music performances, meetings and lectures to weddings, receptions and full-scale theatre.
The impressive crane, a reference to the working yard history of the Roundhouse, has attachments for lighting and rigging. The wooden flooring has a dynamic up-lighting feature. The perimeter of the main stage area acts as arena seating which creates a vibrant audience experience.
