Preston Shire Hall at 286 Gower Street is a City of Darebin municipal events venue with a quality wooden dance floor, flexible furniture arrangement, commercial-style kitchen and temperature-controlled interior. Council advertises up to 200 people without tables, but only 120 when the hall is set with tables and a dance floor. It can accommodate dance events, community functions, celebrations and presentations with external catering by arrangement. A sound system is listed with an extra charge. Council requires at least three hours of hire, advance booking and a security deposit, so include setup time and submit requests early.
