Matching the event with the best venue is a vital ingredient for success. A fair, festival, craft show or open day might be best suited to an outdoor venue. The City of Cockburn has a vast range of beautiful outdoor settings including 21 active reserves (sporting ovals) and 168 passive reserves (parks) that provide a variety of settings and infrastructure for residents to participate in various types of activities. View a list of all Parks and Reserves.
A cultural performance, concert or exhibition might be better suited to an indoor venue. The City of Cockburn has a wide range of indoor venues available for use across a number of our suburbs. Venues range from small, (50 person capacity) medium (100–140 person capacity) and large (150–180 person capacity) and some have multiple rooms to choose from.
