CY Venue
Space overview
CY Venue is a versatile and adaptable event and performance venue, which can be activated at full capacity or divided into smaller spaces for your business and creative needs.
Housed within the Johnston Street building of the Collingwood Yards precinct, this fully refurbished space is equipped with the latest technology and infrastructure to support Victorias creative industry. Our north-facing venue is bathed in natural light with blackout blinds throughout. CY Venue features climate control in every space, adjustable stage and venue lighting and a variety of furniture options for different event and booking needs. In addition to the main event space/s, CY Venue features a foyer and green room, both of which can be used as break out spaces. Our Foyer includes a kitchenette and service area equipped with dishwasher, bar fridges, microwaves and space for ticketing and attendee registration.
Located in the Collingwood Yards Arts Precinct, CY Venue is ideally connected to a variety of creative arts, events and hospitality business and organisations.
Collingwood Yards boasts an extensive history of event management and production and can provide opportunities to work with our tenant community for catering and other event needs.
With several other spaces for hire through Collingwood Yards, CY Venue can be hired alongside our other options to host larger events or those requiring additional break out rooms.
