COBBLESTONE PAVILION:

CREATIVE EVENT SPACE IN MELBOURNE

Meat Market’s Cobblestone Pavilion is a magnificent space steeped in history. Accommodating up to 600 people, the space features original cobblestone flooring and unique period details combined with modern technical equipment and contemporary requirements. With a dedicated commercial kitchen and bar area, food and beverage service is made easy. The Cobblestone Pavilion’s bays add another 400m squared to the already expansive space.

As one of few venues in Melbourne with a custom-made circus truss, the Cobblestone Pavilion allows you to orchestrate intricate circus, aerial and creative performances. From technically complex creative performances and live music shows to corporate events, markets and functions, the Cobblestone Pavilion caters for productions of all sizes.
