INDOOR CONCERT & PERFORMANCE VENUE - FREE USAGE OF HUGE OPEN-STYLE HALL AREA

The Coorparoo Market, situated on the corner of Old Cleveland rd and Cavendish rd in Coorparoo is offering the use of a large indoor space for morning/ lunchtime/ daytime and early-afternoon functions such as: art performances, concerts, battle-of-the-band or unplugged shows, theatre & pantomime, fashion shows, record fair, DJ or music label band showcase promo performances, community, social club & civic interest group activities, company product launch, etc.

Located inside the old MYER building at Coorparoo, the 2-level Coorparoo Market has a dedicated area which is ideal for the above activities - the area is  carpeted and air-conditioned, with standard lighting, has a loading bay for vehicular access just metres from the performance area, and a large, lockable storage room where heavy equipment (lighting, amps or musical equipment, portable stage, props, etc) could be stowed days before & after the performance if required. A stage of varying dimensions (e.g.,20mX4m, 5mx12m, 3mx8m, etc) could be installed as per your requirements. The total area dimensions available for your free use (including any stage area) could be up to approximately 18mx40m or so.

As this performance space is located within a market  (and inside a former department store), you will also have free access to all the facilities Coorparoo Market has to offer: undercover rooftop parking for 150 cars; a choice of over a dozen fast food outlets on the lower (Ground Floor) level, ranging from Sushi Bar to Indian to Chinese food to Franco's gourmet kitchen and much more; fresh fruit & vege markets, cafes, sweets shops, etc.; fully-carpeted and air-conditioned comfort; use of the in-store PA system for announcements if required; access to public toilets and a changing room for infants; wheelchair-accessible facilities; free electricity supply for your equipment; a security guard employed by the Coorparoo market to assist and maintain a watchful eye where needed, and anything else that we may do to assist you.

What's the catch????
None. As a civic-minded supporter of the arts and the local community, the Coorparoo Market is offering full use of this space to suitable applicants on a first-come, first-served basis.

Conditions????
1. Your group or organisation can be a school, college or university, a group, charity, club, band, arts-related business (music, film, theatre, dance, etc), or any individuals or collective with an idea. Private businesses falling outside these parameters should contact us as we are also supportive of business promotion in these trying times.

2. We will provide all of the above, but you must provide the following: your own portable stage, props, electrical equipment, additional lighting, chairs (may be sourced from local church/charity for free - or the carpet will easily seat over 150 persons), and any other requirements for your performance or activity.

3. You must also provide your own advertising for the event, although Coorparoo Market will assist when and where possible. Event must not be a rehearsal as this is not a rehearsal area - the general public and shoppers will also be able to witness your activity.

4. You must leave the area in a neat and tidy condition as it was when you arrived.

5. The area is available (and open to the public) from 7am to 3pm on weekends, and from 9am to 5pm Thursdays & Fridays (organisers and road crew may gain access from 7am on Thur/Fri and from somewhere between 5:30 & 6am on weekends).
The market closes to all persons no later than 45 minutes after closing time.

So why pay hundreds of dollars for a hall or hotel function room when you can have this huge space for free? Please let us know if you will be requiring the space for two or more days running; we will try to accomodate you.

Feel free to pop by anytime during opening hours Thursday to Sunday and see the performance area for yourself. Any further enquiries, please ask for Tom at the  Music and Book Shop (Rare Vinyl Records & Books, Coorparoo), or call him on 0410740329.

P.S. -  Will upload some photos soon
, along with the exact dimensions
