Birthday Party Venues in Woolloongabba

Choosing the Right Birthday Party Venue

Woolloongabba's two birthday rooms sit at opposite ends of the scale. The Vita Nova is a Norman Street studio that clears its shoot floor for big parties, while a restored theatre on Annerley Road keeps a small private room upstairs.

What each Woolloongabba room brings to a birthday:

Room to dance: The Vita Nova takes up to 350 standing under ceilings of about 7 metres, and the floor can be set for a band or DJ.
Period charm: guests climb the old staircase to The Gallery @ The Princess Theatre, a room of chandeliers, arches and mirrors.
Seated dinner: the studio seats 100, while the theatre room sets one long table for 32.
Lighting the party: The Vita Nova's curved cyclorama wall and overhead light box let the room go soft or dramatic.
A bar for your group: The Gallery has a private bar and a balcony to step out onto.

Neither venue lists a starting price; request a quote from each with your headcount and party style.

Themed 18ths and 21sts can go all out on decorating, provided nothing marks the walls or floor.
Preferred caterers handle the food and can arrange drinks, and the venue runs a bar and café area.
A green room and makeup area give the birthday guest somewhere to get ready.
Ramp access, accessible bathrooms and free Wi-Fi are in place, and a backyard area is there for entertaining.
