Function Venues

There are 9 very unique function venues across South Wharf Promenade, including 6 restaurants that can all be booked exclusively, or as sectioned areas. Showtime Event Centre and Cargo Hall are award winning warehouse conversion spaces with capacities for up to 600 guests, and Polly Woodside is an historic tall ship available to be booked for your next event.

BangPop

As is the nature of BangPop’s food; the fun and friendly character continues through the venue. A lego-brick bar, bright colours, hanging bicycles and a large astroturfed riverside alfresco are all key features for your function. Bangpop is the spot for a break from tradition in exciting food options and venue with funk.

Capacity for up to 80 seated or 200 standing.

Plus 5

For a function with feel, Plus 5 offers three spaces if you’re after smaller events or the entire venue utilising the riverside, restaurant and the ‘counting house’. The warmth of Plus 5 is what makes it such a welcoming venue as guests immediately fall in love with the feature wall, décor and amazing staff.

Capacity for up to 60 sit down or 200 standing.

Billie's Bites & Bar

Billie’s can be hired for private events – birthdays, anniversaries, work functions, whatever you need a hospitable venue for.  Those river views don’t hurt either!
