The Theatre at Belco Arts sits proudly on the shores of Lake Ginninderra. With the flexibility to accommodate anything from awards and presentations to cabaret-style banquets, this awe-inspiring space is perfect for unique, memorable events.
The Theatre has a retractable seating bank that can seat 204, as well as additional seats that can be arranged flexibly to suit audiences of 300 or more. Alternatively, we can accommodate banquet seating of up to 192 at tables of 8. The house lighting can be set to any colour, to match the theme or mood of your event, with state-of-the-art technical equipment for crisp audio, impactful video, and bespoke stage lighting to set your event apart.
Black woollen drapes line the perimeter of The Theatre, allowing total blackout conditions for events such as film screenings on the 6m wide projection screen. Or for a totally different look, why not take advantage of the wall of north-facing windows to use a sparkling Lake Ginninderra as your backdrop.
The Theatre is centrally located, surrounded by cafes, restaurants and shops, and is easily accessible by car, bicycle and public transport, with plentiful parking nearby (free after 5:30pm).
We offer a great range of packages and we will work with you to tailor each event to your needs.
