The Timber Yard
1 / 4
WORDS BY CHANTELLE ROGERS

Port Melbourne's chillest hang-out spot.

Live Music: This summer brings US producer and DJ RL Grime, Remi Wolf’s alternative pop, Big Idea’s tour and Manchester DJ Salute. 

Famous for: hosting some of Melbourne’s best EDM events in their warehouse space, including Ministry Of Sound’s Testament – The Warehouse Experience.

Infamous for: being the designated spot on the south side for all your food expo needs. Previously, they have been the home of the Festival of Cake, Botanica’s Spirit and Food Festival and Mould: A Cheese Festival just to name a few. 

Set in the industrial precinct of Port Melbourne, the Timber Yard is an urban sanctuary with a philosophy that puts “recycling, upcycling and togetherness at its core”.

Once used as a furniture fabrication factory, the space has been restored into a massive multipurpose arts and events venue with many unique spaces and four distinct areas to choose from. 

The main room, The Warehouse, has held multiple major electronic music events over the years including the Ministry of Sound, Ultra Resistance and Pure Electronic Generation, to name a few. The Warehouse is the largest enclosed space overall and can be transformed for corporate events or gala dinners with a capacity to hold up to 1500 people.

The Yard space has a lush turfed outdoor area and is a great spot to relax with a drink in hand the sun umbrellas. 

To keep up with the recycled aesthetic, the Wood Store space is more intimate and stylish, perfect for seated events or fashion runways. All sizes for both these spaces can be as big or small as you need to suit the theme of the event. 

For a more intimate occasion, The Workshop, although the smallest of all the spaces, is a great breakaway zone from the main event. There are two meeting rooms available for a VIP area or a private dining experience. Be sure to check out an event held at Timber Yard this summer.
