About This Venue

The Forum Melbourne is a versatile event space with unobstructed floor space, stunning architecture and mesmerising proscenium that has undergone a meticulous restoration perfect for cocktail events, live music events, weddings and corporate events.

When hosting a cutting-edge event, the Forum Melbourne opposite Federation Square on Flinders Street is ideal for opening night parties, launches, fashion parades and cocktail receptions for 400-1500 guests.

Complete with large stage and dance floor, mesmerising proscenium and cabaret style booths, the contrast of this magnificent historic building with its elaborate architecture and a modern day event is nothing short of spectacular.

The Forum II venue features tiered seating for up to 520 guests. With a small thrust stage, surround sound and large cinema screen, this venue is ideal for a conference, presentation or screening where impact is a must. The venue comes complete with the mezzanine area that is ideal for arrival drinks and canapes, or a post event cocktail reception.

Popular for a presentation on the lower level, with a pre or post cocktail reception on the upper level, the Mezzanine & Foyer can be used for a pre or post drinks area for an event at either of the other venues.

The Forum Melbourne is situated in the heart of Melbourne’s CBD, opposite Federation Square on the corner of Flinders and Russell Streets.
