GETTING HERE
Meeniyan Town Hall is located in the centre of the town of Meeniyan, on the South Gippsland Highway, Victoria. (Put ‘97 Whitelaw St, Meeniyan‘ in your maps app).
It is approx 2 hrs from the Melbourne CBD (naturally, allow a bit extra on a week night). The hall entrance is easily visible and accessible from the street.
Parking is readily available in the main street.
While almost everyone makes their own way to the hall by car, friends or community groups may choose to organise their own group travel. While you can research and arrange bookings yourself, an example is the Sandy Point Community Bus.
VENUE SPECS
VENUE:
Seating Capacity and format: Capacity is 250 maximum. The usual format for our events is allocated table and chair seating, (we allocate the tables). Table sizes are small (around 6) and large (around 12). If you have friends also purchasing tickets under a separate booking name, let us know if you wish to be seated together at the same table with them.
Food & Drink: Our shows are BYO food (meals, nibbles, platters) and drink. While we don’t sell anything in the hall, there are restaurants, pub and bottle shop nearby if you need them.
Show Times: Times on the night for the majority of our shows are Doors 7pm and Show 8pm. Our shows are often akin to community gatherings. Having 60 mins of doors open allows for plenty of time for friends to catch up and share BYO food & drinks before the show starts. As we don’t sell any food or drink at the hall, the time is also maximised for patrons without the distraction of trips to a bar.
The occasional show may have different times. If so, those times are listed on our website page and Oztix page for the show.
Disability Access: Full disability access – Companion cards accepted.
Children: We are an all ages venue. While children are welcome, we do not have space for prams or pushers.
