Perched on the top floor of the Shepparton Art Museum, the stunning event space features a light-filled open layout with floor-to-ceiling windows, flexible room configurations, and direct access to a spacious terrace.

Overlooking Victoria Park Lake and its surrounding parklands, the terrace boasts sweeping views of Victoria Park Lake and lush parklands, providing an unforgettable setting, especially at sunset.

An operable wall allows you to separate the Multifunction Room from the Margaret Attwood Hall, giving you the flexibility to tailor the space to suit your event's unique flow and requirements.

The hire of this space provides you with complete exclusive use of the the Margaret Attwood Hall, Terrace and Multifunction Room.

For any functions that occur outside of the museums operating hours and given the unique venue setting, security is required to manage guest access to and from the building. A dedicated security guard will be stationed at the museum’s main entrance to welcome guests, assist with directions to the function space, and support the overall security of the premises.

We arrange this service on your behalf through our preferred security partner. Once your event timing has been confirmed, we will provide you with a quotation based on the required engagement period.

Access to the space can begin from 3:30pm. Early access may be arranged depending on availability, additional fees may apply.

If you are planning on having suppliers bump in throughout the day ie. musicians, florists, decor etc. an additional event coordination fee may apply to manage and coordinate vendors.
