The First Floor Foyer at Ulumbarra Theatre is a light-filled reception and breakout space within Bendigo’s historic former Sandhurst Gaol. Blending the original masonry with contemporary theatre architecture, the upper foyer is listed at 220 m². Current venue information provides a range of 100–250 cocktail guests, 50–100 banquet guests and 50–80 theatre-style, depending on staging and setup. This is distinct from the much larger ground foyer and the 950-seat auditorium. The theatre’s upstairs bar may operate for performances, but its exclusive inclusion with a private hire must be confirmed.
