The Press Halls

The Press Halls are the jewel in Printworks’ crown, with 16-metre high ceilings and 3,328 square metres of original industrial space.

The former heart of the factory, the cathedral-like space was used to print newspapers 24-hours a day, seven days a week. Original industrial features, such as the giant printing presses, multiple mezzanine levels and soundproofed pods overlooking the space known as ‘quiet havens' provide an exceptional environment for live events.

The Press Halls comprise two main areas: The Main Hall and The Live Box, which can be combined or configured as separate spaces. An internationally acclaimed music space, the halls also offer a dynamic home for new culture such as exhibitions, conferences, brand activations, award ceremonies, festivals and fashion shows.
