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
