Balingup Town Hall (Main Hall & Lesser Hall)
Hosted by Shire of Donnybrook Balingup
SpacetoCo Host since March 2025 · 500 bookingsThe Shire of Donnybrook Balingup is situated in the Southwest of Western Australia in a picturesque area surrounded by stunning forests, winding rivers, rolling hills, vineyards and lush orchards. Donnybrook-Balingup is historically known as the first genuinely “rural” township of consequence that one enters when travelling south from Perth.
About this space
Hidden in the heart of the magical forests and valleys 1 hour away from Bunbury is Balingup, which is easily one of the most unique areas in the South West. This is where you can find the Balingup Town Hall, a one-of-a-kind place that perfectly embodies the spirit of the community and local creatives. It was first built in 1898 from locally made bricks and has since been refurbished, all while still maintaining its character and charm. The Balingup Town Hall continues to provide a much-needed meeting place for community groups, social gatherings, school concerts and balls. Not only is it where you’ll find the Balingup Library, but it’s also the home of the Balingup Arts & Culture Hub (BACH) and where the Annual Balingup Medieval Carnivale Dinner Feast is typically held.
About the Main Hall:
The Main Hall features a flexible floor area of 15.5m x 12.0m, used for audience seating and stage extensions. A small existing stage extension at the front of the proscenium measures 1.1m deep x 7.46m wide. The height available for a screen in front of the proscenium arch is 3.4m (from the stage extension floor to the central ceiling support), with side wire supports positioned at 3.0m.
For rear projection:
Distance from the back of the stage to the proscenium arch: 4.05m
Distance from the back of the stage to the front edge of the stage extension: 5.15m
The proscenium arch is 5.35m wide, and the stage extension sits 0.91m above the main hall floor, with a 10cm lip running across its full width.
The hall can comfortably seat 120–130 guests and connects to an accessibility-friendly lobby and reception area. This versatile space regularly hosts performances and community events, including the renowned Annual Balingup Medieval Carnivale Feast.
About the Lesser Hall:
The Lesser Hall is approximately 12m x 6m and features air conditioning that will keep your guests comfortable when they enter through the large accessibility-friendly doorway. A commercial kitchen is also directly attached to this space, with two open doorways for smooth service. The Lesser Hall is commonly used for a range of community activities hosted by the Balingup Arts & Culture Hub (BACH) – custom handmade quilt artwork has been made by members of this group, which adds to the charm of this space.
