The Space
A premier event and production venue at the edge of North Port Oval.
Nestled alongside the iconic North Port Oval in Port Melbourne, Panel & Play is a bold, contemporary venue offering a highly versatile canvas for events, film shoots, photography, and creative activations. Framed by lush green grounds and rich sporting heritage, this destination space merges architectural design with cultural context — making it one of Melbourne’s most dynamic backdrops for both large-scale productions and elevated private gatherings.
The venue includes multiple purpose-built spaces designed to accommodate high-volume foot traffic, large film crews, or expansive guest lists. The Sandridge Room, with its floor-to-ceiling glass walls, opens directly onto the oval’s edge — providing panoramic views, exceptional natural light, and a seamless indoor-outdoor connection that’s ideal for gala events, media launches, or cinematic shoots. Adjacent, the Centenary Room offers a more intimate setting — perfect for executive briefings, green room use, interviews, or stylised stills. For alfresco gatherings, the Sandridge Deck delivers a unique perspective of the surrounding sports grounds and skyline, with open air, clean lines, and ambient movement.
A key highlight is direct access to North Port Oval itself — a rare opportunity to incorporate Melbourne’s rich AFL culture into your creative or event concept. From drone captures over the field to large outdoor activations, the oval adds a layer of texture and scale that few venues can match.
With ample space for equipment, staging, and full production logistics, Panel & Play can comfortably accommodate large crews and guest numbers. Multiple entry points, designated service access, kitchen hire available and generous on-site and street parking ensure effortless operations from bump-in to wrap.
Whether you’re hosting a high-end brand launch, planning a major creative shoot, or curating an immersive event experience, Panel & Play offers a bold, flexible, and visually striking foundation for your vision.
