Space highlight: Blackwood Box, Meat Market 💫
Built in 1880, Meat Market is a grade one heritage-listed building with enormous character and history. An iconic landmark of Melbourne’s early meat trade, Meat Market features four distinctive spaces boasting intricacies unique to 19th and 20th century Melbourne.
A dedicated arts, cultural, community and performance venue, Meat Market offers a variety of spaces ideal for creative developments, community events, performance seasons, rehearsals, exhibitions, filming, meetings, conferences and more.
Meat Market’s Blackwood Box is a new flexible black box theatre and rehearsal hall for performing arts and events in the Flat Floor Pavilion. The upgrade has been led by Creative Victoria and features an acoustically treated interior. The Blackwood Box can be configured to suit everything from creative development, rehearsal and performance, to sit down meals.
Featuring an open space free of pillars, the venue transforms into the perfect backdrop for dance, music, markets, fairs, theatre, conferences, meetings, dinners, and any other creative event.
