flexible space perfect for your event idea

Lightspace is a unique warehouse venue in Brisbane’s creative precinct of Fortitude Valley. With ample open space, the venue can be booked as one 660m2 room or two distinct internal spaces. These can be subdivided into smaller areas for more intimate functions. Each party has exclusive use as we never host two events at the same time.

You’re also welcome to visit for an inspection, just let us know a suitable time. There’s a virtual tour of the venue here.

The Bar Lounge (LS2) is a furnished space and is perfect for cocktail parties, dinner events, smaller presentations, or anything requiring a relaxed lounge setting.

Its capacity is 120 guests cocktail-style, 100 theatre style or up to 60 guests for an intimate formal dinner.
