Completed in the mid-1800s and located in the Melbourne CBD opposite the State Library Victoria, the Old Melbourne Gaol is constructed in historic bluestone, containing the original cells across three levels high above amongst historic and museum features lining the walls.

With a capacity for up to 120 guests for a banquet dinner running down the length of the ground floor, or 350 for a cocktail reception. While also being able to add the option of a unique experience including Ghost Tours, Lock-up and more. The Old Melbourne Gaol always leaves guests talking.

In addition to package pricing, venue hire and additional AV cost will incur.
