The Brown's Mart precinct includes the heritage Brown's Mart Theatre, Brown's Mart Studio (also home to Happy Yess), Brown's Mart Courtyard and our Bar/Info Desk. We also have a rehearsal room, Technical Office and an Administrative Office on site. There is parking close by throughout the City, and we are located right next to the CBD Bus depot.

A quiet space is generally available at the venue/ facility by sitting in the courtyard. Events and experiences vary though so please check in if you require something specific.
