Description

Flagship warehouse event complex for major conferences, exhibitions and large-scale productions

The Cotton Sheds are Victoria Warehouse's largest and most recognisable event space, built in 1925 for cotton storage and formed from eight interconnected warehouse sheds (labelled A to G plus a Mezzanine) spread over two levels. The space combines exposed brickwork, steel columns and warehouse-scale ceilings with flexible sub-areas supporting conferences, exhibitions, gala dinners, concerts and immersive brand events. Shed A is the main pillar-free space at 1,185 sqm, used for the largest launches, conferences, dinners and shows; Sheds B, C, D, E, F and G can be hired collectively as breakout rooms, catering areas or exhibition space. The full complex of all eight sheds reaches up to around 5,000 at concert scale.
