Warm, welcoming and one of a kind.
Set in the heart of Sydenham, Milton Street Substation is located close to the central city and the Port Hills. The venue features a warm exposed brick interior with black stainless steel staircases, timber ceilings and versatile room set ups.
The building can accommodate up to 290, with combinations of up to 200 for a sit down dinner, or 150 people for a relaxed party or function. If your event has more than 150 guests, you may need to hire security personnel. This is a decision made on a case by case basis based on the event type and guest numbers.
The space is made up of a large entrance foyer, dance floor space, mezzanine floor, sun-trap balcony, rear courtyard, powder rooms, and facilities for onsite catering.
