As we wrap up spring, we’re reflecting on the incredible array of events hosted at Frankston Arts Centre (FAC). This list is just a sampling of the many occasions we’ve supported—our versatile space has become a vibrant canvas for everything from milestone celebrations to educational programs and grand expos. And, of course, this is all in addition to our bustling theatre calendar, with shows and performances on most evenings, matinee shows, morning rehearsals, and technical bump-ins creating a lively atmosphere almost every day.

Celebrations and Gala Dinners

Celebrations were in full swing, with some of our city’s major awards and festive gatherings choosing FAC as their venue. Highlights include:

  • Season Launch Celebration for FAC, setting the tone for a year of exciting programming.
  • FCC Volunteer Awards and FBC Business Excellence Awards Gala Dinner, honouring local leaders in style.
  • Village Baxter Christmas Party and Frankston’s Christmas Festival of Lights, showcasing the joy of the holiday season and the community spirit.

With tailored lighting, creative styling, and seamless event support, our team ensures every celebration has its own unique flair and ambience.

Education and Youth Celebrations

Spring also marked milestones for local students and school communities. We were thrilled to host:

  • School Formals and Valedictory Dinners for Frankston, Carrum Downs, Seaford and Mornington Peninsula students, providing a memorable celebration.
  • Hands on Learning 25-Year Conference and Youth Jobs Fest, celebrating and supporting youth development.
  • The Cornish College Parents Association ‘Belong’ Ladies Luncheon, an inspiring community event focused on connection.

With flexible spaces to fit every gathering size, FAC offers independent foyers, breakout rooms, and themed lighting, creating the perfect environment for each event.

Thank you once again for an amazing event that our students and staff will remember celebrating their VCE success. - Kate Turner - Chisholm VCE Celebration 2024

FAC is also a prime destination for corporate and public meetings, including:

  • Navy Emerging Leaders Forum, fostering the growth and development of emerging leaders.
  • Department of Transport & Planning Community Consultations, providing space for community discussions.
  • Australian Citizenship Ceremony and Parliamentary Committee Hearings, which benefit from our spacious, secure setup.

For professional meetings, our professional team ensures a smooth flow, quiet and discreet service, and personalised layouts, all tailored to each events requirements.

Expos and Full-Venue Takeovers

FAC’s extensive space and flexible layout make it ideal for large expos and full-venue takeovers. Spring events included:

  • The Teddy Bear Expo, Djirra' Sisters Day Out, APT Travelmarvel Travel Expo, and Body & Soul Holistic & Psychic Expo, which utilised our Function Centre, open-plan areas, and Cube Studios to create vibrant hubs for community engagement.

With dedicated entrances, ample underground parking, and open-plan layouts, FAC can transform into a seamless space for exhibitions, formal presentations in the theatre, and breakout areas in function rooms, courtyards, and studios.
