Welcome to 75 Reid St, a space for life in Melbourne’s Inner North. Featuring a large auditorium and multiple smaller rooms, this unique venue hosts a wide variety of activities, from conferences and concerts to weddings, yoga classes, exhibitions, and training workshops. The venue is conveniently located near Edinburgh Gardens and is easily accessible by public transport. In addition to event hire, 75 Reid St is home to The North Collective, a coworking space with 24/7 desk access, catering to freelancers, small businesses, and not-for-profits.
75 Reid St is a beautifully restored 1920s church building lovingly curated by the Fitzroy North Community Church. Originally constructed as a safe space for local kids, the building now serves as a hub of life in the neighborhood. The main auditorium, once a basketball court, boasts a stunning high arched ceiling. The church’s philosophy revolves around providing a space for joy, connection, nourishment, and community in a space-poor neighborhood. The venue’s income from private and corporate hire is used to maintain the building and support partnerships with not-for-profits, charities, the arts, and community groups.
Partnerships with organizations like Beautiful Bunch, Newlands Choir, Melbourne Young Writers Studio, Yarra Voices, The Boite, Tearfund, and IHH reflect 75 Reid St’s commitment to supporting the community. The venue offers discounts to these organizations and fosters long-term formal partnerships to create a positive impact. By subsidizing partnerships and maintaining accessible pricing, 75 Reid St continues its tradition of being a place for life in the Inner North, embodying a spirit of inclusivity and community engagement.
