There are many great opportunities for the Victoria Public Market as a venue for dynamic off-site events. From cooking classes, to long table dinners, educational seminars, fundraisers, conferences and more, the main event space offers a contemporary space with an agri-chic aesthetic. Each event in the Market is treated individually; some will be intimate private events in the Community Kitchen, others will be ticketed events open to the public.
Our main event space offers a unique venue for gatherings up to 300 and the Community Kitchen may be considered for smaller intimate events under 25 guests.
