Local Venues to Hire for Parties

Mornington Park Pavillion

Our number one recommendation is the Mornington Park Pavilion. Located on the corner of Flinders Drive and the Esplanade, Mornington, it is part of the Mornington Memorial Park precinct at Schnapper’s Point. This allows you to have both an indoor space, with a large outside grassed area and the Schnapper Point playground. Views are magnificent, looking over the coastline. The hall also comes equipped with a full kitchen, tables and chairs, timber floor, heating, PA system (on prior request) and stage.

Bookings can be made through the Mornington Peninsula Shire Council Community Hall Hire on 5950 1150 or via online form found at www.mornpen.vic.gov.au/Leisure_Tourism/Community_Halls_for_Hire

We often encourage members who don’t want a party at home to combine this hall with a Party Pack from The Frankston Toy Library for a perfect christening or first birthday celebration.


Tootgarook Community Hall

If you are looking for a venue at the Southern end of the Peninsula, take a look at the Tootgarook Community Hall (30 Barry Street). The main hall has a capacity of 180 depending on your set-up requirements and comes with tables and chairs provided, timber floors, heating, ceiling fans and fully equipped kitchen. There is a school next door with a playground in it, and an oval behind the building. The permanent stage is also a favourite for the kids to play on, if you are not using it for a band or DJ.

Bookings can be made through the Mornington Peninsula Shire Council Community Hall Hire on 5950 1150 or via online form found at www.mornpen.vic.gov.au/Leisure_Tourism/Community_Halls_for_Hire


Balnarring Community Hall

Balnarring Community Hall has a space to suit every need. The main hall has a capacity for 170 and includes tables and chairs, piano, PA system (on prior request), stage, timber floors, heating and a large kitchen. The second hall (capacity 80) also includes tables & chairs, PA system (on prior request), carpeted floors, and shared access to toilets and the kitchenette (with the meeting room that has a capacity for 20 people).

The Balnarring playground is only metres away, as is a large grassed picnic space. There is also ample parking.

Bookings can be made through the Mornington Peninsula Shire Council Community Hall Hire on 5950 1150 or via online form found at http://www.mornpen.vic.gov.au/Leisure_Tourism/Community_Halls_for_Hire.

Some other suggestions by the MPK Community:

  • Baxter Hall for something smaller
  • Chelsea Heights for something huge
  • The Barn at the Briars
  • The Barn at St Peter’s Church in Mornington
  • Rosebud RSL has big rooms to hire, indoor play room and grass area for kids to run about
  • Baden Powell Sea Scout Hall – Williams Rd, Mt Eliza

After a week of exams, thought the kiddos (and parents) could use a treat!
@loadeddoughandco ticked that box!
Their indulgent, loaded cookies and joke-telling staff member put a smile on my face and made Friyay even sweeter.

Hill & Ridge Community Market 

Nestled among the rolling hills and towering gums, the @hillandridgecommunitymarket is fast becoming a must-visit destination for locals and visitors alike. Held on the first Saturday of each month at the Red Hill Recreation Reserve, the market brings together a variety of stallholders showcasing the very best of the Mornington Peninsula and beyond.

In 2024, the Red Hill Agricultural & Horticultural Society - proud custodians of the Red Hill Show since 1922 โ€“ embraced the opportunity to run the monthly market, ensuring it continues to thrive as a celebration of community, creativity and country life.

From artisan breads and cheeses to handmade jewellery, clothing and homewares, there is something to delight every shopper. Youโ€™ll also find gourmet street food, coffee and sweet treats to enjoy as you wander through the bustling avenues of stalls. And of course, no visit is complete without supporting the local Scouts at their legendary scone stall, or grabbing a bacon and egg roll freshly cooked by the Red Hill Football and Netball Club.

The Hill & Ridge Community Market is more than just shopping. Itโ€™s a place to meet friends, soak up the atmosphere, enjoy live music, and watch the kidsโ€™ faces light up with activities and entertainment. Families, foodies and curious browsers all find their place here.

With free entry, easy onsite parking, and the warmest of community welcomes, itโ€™s the perfect way to spend a Saturday. As the organisers say, itโ€™s all about โ€œgood things in the heart of Red Hill.โ€

The next Hill & Ridge Community Market runs from 9amโ€“2pm on Saturday 1 st November at the Red Hill Recreation Reserve.
