Festival Hub: Trades Hall - Old Council Chambers

Old Council Chambers is a beautiful heritage room that has recently been restored and refurbished.

The venue is on the first floor, on the south side of the building.
Get to the venue by heading through the southern doors out of the Loading Dock Bar and then up the stairs.
To get there without use of the stairs, head out the northern doors of the Loading Dock Bar and then to your immediate left there is a lift. From there head towards Solidarity Hall and then left to the southern part of the building.

With a curved seating bank of benches, this heritage room is great for intimate performance, storytelling, and comedy.

Please note - no food or drinks are permitted in this venue, except for water.
