Melbourne Showgrounds

The Grand Pavilion

The Royal Melbourne Showground’s Grand Pavilion, one of the largest tent like structures in the Southern Hemisphere, has now become a landmark feature of Melbourne’s skyline. The 8,000 square-metre Grand Pavilion is a central feature of the newly redeveloped Melbourne Showgrounds.

The Grand Pavilion is about half the size of the playing surface of the MCG or the equivalent of 30 tennis courts. The flexibility of the Grand Pavilion and other surrounding venues at the Melbourne Showgrounds makes it an ideal venue for an array of events and activity, only limited by your imagination.
