Features of Holden Street Theatres

All buildings are heritage listed and boast beautiful wooden ceilings and incredible acoustics.

The original stained glass windows in The Arch are back lit, which are used in conjunction with halogen lights in the ceiling to accentuate the wood and to create stunning house lights.

The Studio offers a more contemporary feel with it's black box style, and can offer a more versatile canvas for designers. The configuration is adaptable and details on this can be obtained through the venue.

Holden Street Theatres is a beautiful, well equipped venue in a superb location just outside the CBD. We have a great range of facilities at your disposal including:

  • Fully Stocked Bar

  • Dressing rooms (attached to The Arch and The Studio)

Tech at HST

Our equipment is more than capable of handling the needs of most theatre, dance, and musical productions, including multiple shows through Adelaide Fringe. As many companies like to bring in their own equipment, we are happy and able to accommodate this as well.

We are supported by Novatech Pty Ltd and can order equipment in for you or direct you to them should you need.

Our resident Technical Manager is on hand to support you in finding your way around our gear and for showing you where everything is.

Your hire will include maintenance and replacement should anything go wrong. Please discuss with the Venue Manager when you confirm your booking.

Additional Options of HST

We are always keen to increase the opportunities for Holden Street to present great performances, and we are always open to trying new spaces. In the past we have housed site specific work in caravans, gardens and shipping containers.

The Barbara Hardy garden an d outside bar offer great options for private functions and the inside bar can also be converted to a cabaret space seating approx 50 -80 people.
