Space for intimate workshops

Please note the venue will be closed for functions at the end of 2025 and will not be taking event bookings from 2026 onwards. We’ll be conducting renovations in the new year and an exciting next chapter of Lightspace will begin. For all events our other venue Loyal Hope near James St will continue operating as normal. Please make an enquiry for 2026 events directly through this site.

It has been an honour to host thousands of weddings and events over the past 17 years.  Please stay tuned for the next iteration of this iconic warehouse space…

Located in the hub of Brisbane’s creative district Fortitude Valley, Lightspace has become a destination for workshops and gatherings of all kinds.

We have a sound system, projectors and microphones in-venue, and can recommend specialist AV suppliers if you need additional equipment. 160 gorgeous bentwood chairs also come with the venue hire, perfect for a presentation in either the Bar Lounge or Main Space.  We also offer special rates for mid-week and daytime events.

We have some fantastic workshop food menus available and our barista coffee cart will keep your guests caffeinated. Drinks such as fresh fruit smoothies can be served throughout the event and alcoholic options afterwards for that all-important networking session.

We have recommenced onsite inspections with strict social distancing, however you can also have your own virtual tour of the venue here. Otherwise please contact us if you’d like to discuss a private virtual tour.
