Recognised in the Spice Magazine 2026 Hot 100

While many of our loyal patrons know Frankston Arts Centre for unforgettable theatre experiences, what happens beyond the stage is just as exciting and now, it’s receiving national recognition.

We’re thrilled to share that Frankston Arts Centre has been named a winner in the Best Regional Event Venue category in the Spice Magazine 2026 Hot 100 Hotels & Venues. These awards celebrate the very best venues across Australia and New Zealand, recognising excellence in events, service, and innovation.

Beyond the stage: a venue for every occasion

It should come as no surprise that alongside our vibrant performing arts program, Frankston Arts Centre has become a sought-after destination in Australia’s business events landscape.

From conferences and gala dinners to exhibitions and corporate events, we deliver experiences that go far beyond expectations. Many guests arrive knowing us for the theatre but leave seeing the full potential of what we offer.

Positioned on the edge of Melbourne and the Mornington Peninsula, our venue offers a unique urban meets coastal experience accessible, yet distinctly destination-driven.

What our clients say

Our reputation has been built on the experiences we create, and the feedback speaks for itself:

• “The team were professional, responsive, and genuinely invested in the success of our event, making everything easy from planning through to delivery.”

• “Our guests were impressed by the venue, it offers real scale and sophistication, with a relaxed coastal feel.”

• “Nothing was too much trouble. The team went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly from start to finish.”

These reflections highlight what sets us apart not just the spaces themselves, but the people and expertise behind every event.

A shared success

This recognition is a celebration of our incredible team, our clients, and our community. Whether it’s a standing ovation in the theatre or a standout business event, everything we do is brought to life through collaboration, creativity, and care.
