Where can I find the best Perth workshop and Perth conference venues?

Perth is known as the sunniest capital city in Australia. It's popular for being the "most isolated city in the world" since it's surrounded by nature, including amazing beaches and lots of green spaces.

Here are some Perth locations where you can find your next workshop venue:

Perth CBD

When it comes to business, where else should you go in Perth WA but the central business district? Perth CBD offers you an ideal location for corporate events and meetings. You'll find various business hotels with a variety of spaces you can use for private functions and corporate events.

Hotels usually have conference rooms, function rooms, ballrooms, restaurants and bars where you can book your workshop. You can also find a wide array of dining options in Perth where you can hold business meetings, seminars and team-building sessions. Perth CBD is also filled with different indoor and outdoor meeting spaces that can accommodate small group events to large-scale business functions.

Northbridge is another prominent area where you can find your ideal workshop venues and conference venues in Perth.

If you prefer event venues with a more business-like atmosphere, you can book one of the many offices, boardrooms, meeting rooms or conference venues in the city. For a more casual feel, you can hold your workshop in cafes or restaurants.

Northbridge is also known for its arts and culture scene. Perth Cultural Centre is home to a number of modern art galleries your guests can visit after your event.

If you're looking for a venue that offers room hire, East Perth should be high on your list! Whether you need space for your workshop or want to hold a private function like a business meeting or seminar, there are many facilities available at affordable rates in this area.

Inner Perth

Perth's inner suburbs offer a more urban and hip environment. This should bode well for young employees as well as older ones who want to know what the kids like today. Inner Perth offers plenty of interesting locations for your next conference. It's the place where you can find your ideal workshop venue with lots of entertainment options and amazing restaurants within walking distance.

Perth Airport

If you're looking for a less conventional location but still within Perth city limits, consider holding your workshop at the Perth airport. This area is known for being the hub of international arrivals in Western Australia. It has a great selection of conference facilities to choose from for both local and international events, such as meeting rooms, restaurants, bars and lounges.

The great thing about the airport is that it's also a popular tourist attraction, so you can tie in your workshop or conference with a sightseeing tour to get the most out of your event. That will really help make your workshop memorable.

South Perth

South Perth is ideal if you want your guests to feel closer to nature. This area offers fresh air and peaceful surroundings, which can help put your mind at ease after a tiring day of planning or hosting a workshop. You'll also find hotels, cafes, restaurants and bars here, as well as parks where you can hold a creative workshop and then head out to enjoy the nightlife in the city centre.

Swan River and Riverside

For something different, consider holding your workshop in the Swan River and the Riverside. It's an excellent conference venue for those who want to have a relaxed day with a pleasant view of nature and water activities. You'll find many luxury hotels where you can stay overnight after your workshop to enjoy Perth city at night. The nearby open parks are also a great spot for outdoor activities.

Perth's Outskirts and the Countryside

If you're looking for something more serene but still fun, consider holding your workshop at one of Perth's outskirts or in the countryside. You'll find many hotels close to wineries, breweries, and entertainment venues where you can enjoy some food, drinks and fun activities.

The countryside is also a great venue for more adventurous workshops. You can schedule an outdoor activity to explore the region's facilities, such as visiting local farms or learning how to fish and collect honey.

Crawley

Crawley is a haven for artists and designers who sell their goods in vintage shops, art galleries and boutiques you won't find anywhere else. This can be a good place to do a product launch or similar business events.

Subiaco/Swan Valley Area 

Art lovers will love the Subiaco/Swan Valley area for its art galleries, cafes, restaurants and bars. The area is also known for being home to the local theatre community. If you want a corporate event that's a little more laid back than usual, this can be a good place to hold your workshop or office party.

This area is also home to some of the best golf courses on this side of Australia. You can arrange a meeting in one of the venues where guests can play a round of golf while talking business. Swan Valley is the place to go for conventions and trade fairs. This area has modern conference centres that can accommodate large crowds.

West Perth is one of the most popular destinations in all of Perth, located just 2km down the street from the CBD.

What should I look for in a Perth workshop venue?

Take some time to make a list of what you need or expect from a venue and the style you're going for. This will help ensure that your workshop will be a success. You can also read our guide on how to plan a memorable corporate event.

Location

Do you want to hold your workshop in the city, or are you willing to travel a bit further away from the hustle and bustle of the city centre and be nearer to nature? Consider these aspects when choosing a venue.

Capacity

Is your workshop for 25 people or 200 people? You'll also want to consider how much space you need. For instance, is it enough space if the workshop attendees sit in a circle? If not, will they fit standing up instead of sitting down?

Flexibility

Your venue should be flexible, meaning that it can be modified if necessary. You may need to divide the space into smaller areas or rooms so movable partition walls are definitely welcome. Ideally, you should have some leeway to change or rearrange the layout of the conference room or venue.

Accessibility

Related to location, you should book a venue that is easily accessible by foot, private vehicle and public transportation. The easier it is to get to the workshop venue, the more guests will attend.

Accessibility also entails inclusivity. By that, we mean wide doorways, access ramps and elevators are available for wheelchair users. You should also provide large print materials for the visually impaired and a hearing loop for the hard of hearing.

Budget

You should also look at the budget as it may determine where you end up holding your workshop. The cost of renting venues can vary depending on their capacity, flexibility, amenities and location.

Amenities

Choose function venues that have everything you need to successfully conduct your workshop. You'll want to make sure that the venue has a large, well-lit meeting room with big windows and natural light. You should also have the latest technology available so you can present your workshop well. This includes having projectors, flip charts, writing materials, whiteboards, interactive tables and a business-grade internet connection.

Catering

Depending on the type of venue you choose for your workshop, in-house catering may be offered (such as a hotel boardroom). There may even be catering packages, so don't forget to check on this. Other venue types such as co-working spaces or serviced offices tend to partner with external caterers who offer a range of food and drink options, typically a combination of breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea, plus coffee and tea.

On-site or nearby accommodation

One advantage of holding your workshop in or in the vicinity of hotels is that you'll have on-site or nearby accommodation. You don't have to worry about guests coming in late or getting lost.
