Versatile Event Space in Richmond.

tl;dr

Space
80 sqm (861 sq ft) three-room brand activation space for rent in Richmond, Melbourne, housed in an 1850s building with retained period fabric and a divisible layout that can be hired in full or as the upper floor only.
Best For
Strongest fit for private launch events and cocktail receptions with catering, followed by short-term pop-up shop and temporary retail runs, wholesale appointments and buyer previews across the three separate rooms, and sample sale space with stock held on site. Also available for small content studio and brand shoot bookings.
Standout Features
Three separable rooms allow selling, styling and hosting to run at the same time, supported by fitting rooms, garment racks, retail counters and a dedicated stock room already in place. Move-in ready extras include installed sound and video equipment, adjustable lighting, a full kitchen suitable for caterer setup, lift access, ducted air conditioning with heating, an operating security system and on-site parking for load-in.
Location
Bridge Road trams (routes 48 and 75) stop within a 1 minute walk, the Church Street route 78 tram is roughly 3 minutes on foot and East Richmond Station is about 11 minutes, in Richmond 3121. The immediate street mixes fashion retail, cafes and restaurants with kerbside vehicle access, so crews can unload directly and guests arrive on a busy, well-lit shopping strip.
Availability
Day rate is AUD 180 (approximately EUR 109) with a one day minimum and a seven day maximum, so brands book by the day or across a full week. Melbourne bookings are best confirmed 4 to 6 weeks ahead, and spaces at this address typically book out fastest around Melbourne Fashion Festival in March and Melbourne Fashion Week in November.
How to Book
Send a brief with your dates and activation format and we reply within 24h with confirmed availability and a costed plan, with no charge until confirmed. Permit paperwork, event staffing and fit-out coordination are handled by our team on the brand's behalf, so request availability now to hold your Richmond dates.
