Cargo Hall

Events at Cargo Hall

Cargo Hall is the younger sister of flagship venue, Showtime Events Centre. Reimagined from the ground up, Cargo Hall was also a former docking shed along the growing South Wharf Promenade. However, since 2013 it has been brought into the modern day with a few clever features and a discreet nod to its previous maritime life.

Directly opposite the Melbourne Convention Centre and the renowned Novotel and Pan Pacific Hotels, Cargo Hall sits in an enviable position among a bright hospitality precinct.

The main features of this purpose-built venue are evident as soon you walk through its large doors. Entry via the glass conservatory is always a guest favourite as it faces the Yarra River and oversees the Melbourne skyline, running the length of the venues this fully enclosed space is perfect for arrival cocktails, canapés and anything else you might need it for. Fantastic for summer days as the sun streams through or even better during winter nights, looking at the stars while immersed in the warmth of the venue.

Recycled wood is used to great effect on the back venue wall, creating a subtle pattern that adds character while not drawing attention. A feature coloured backlit bar uses stacked bottles behind glass, in reference to the building's former life.
