Brisbane PowerhouseEvents Guide
With over 1250 performances and events each year, we are one
of the busiest arts venues in the Asia-Pacific region. Brisbane
Powerhouse has an organisation-wide commitment to creators
of all disciplines. We offer a year-round program featuring events
across music, comedy, writers + ideas, dance, film, visual arts,
digital arts, theatre and music theatre. We also open our doors
to independent and emerging artists.
We help create events and experiences that couldn’t exist anywhere
else, including outstanding dining experiences, the adrenalin rush of
a festival’s atmosphere or the joy of witnessing a great performance.
Our building is the hero of our story, and its uniqueness is
represented in everything our audience encounters.
Brisbane Powerhouse is Queensland’s
home for contemporary culture,
a magnificent power station of the
1920s reborn as an arts and cultural
hub on the Brisbane River. A unique
venue with breathtaking river views.

Brisbane Powerhouse is a unique wedding venue with breathtaking river views, stunning park surrounds and endless locations to capture the moments from your special day. We offer a variety
of locations to hold your wedding or commitment
ceremony, as well as industrial style spaces
for cocktail or sit down receptions and two on-
site restaurants to entertain your guests during
photographs. Our friendly and highly skilled staff will
ensure that your celebration at Brisbane Powerhouse
is both memorable and enjoyable.
On the 7th of October 2017, Brisbane Powerhouse was home to the glamorous wedding of Maddy and Corie. Modern and
elegant styling from Indigo & Ivy complimented by an abundance
of beautiful florals from Akirah Collective, creating a striking
accent to the industrial style of the Rooftop Terrace. A rustic yet
vibrant floral arbour created a centrepiece for the Riverbend
Terrace, transforming the aesthetic of the Riverbend Terrace into
a classic ceremony space. The bride and groom were the epitome
of style, putting their unique flair on the classic wedding attire.
WEDDINGS & CELEBRATIONS MADDY & CORIE
“We had an overwhelming response from all our guests about how intimate and modern the venue was. The Rooftop Terrace was the perfect reception location, it made all our guests feel relaxed, comfortable and ready to party.”

CITYCAT: The New Farm Park CityCat jetty is
a short 300m walk from Brisbane Powerhouse.
BUS SERVICE: The 195 and 196 bus services
stop at the end of Brunswick Street at Oxlade
Drive, on the East side of New Farm Park. The
199 bus stops at Merthyr Road and Hawthorne
Street. Both stops are a short walk away from
Brisbane Powerhouse. For more information
on public transit schedules and stop locations
visit translink.com.au

has over 100 free car parks. During busy times
we open a one way link road that connects to
New Farm Park carpark that provides more
than 200 additional car spaces.
If you have a dinner or show reservation, we
encourage you to arrive early to give yourself
enough time to find a park (and our tip is to head
to New Farm Park first as these parks don’t fill
as quickly). Secure bicycle racks are available
outside of the Stores and Turbine buildings.

car park beside the Stores Building. Free taxi
phones are located in the foyer opposite the
box office.
