Meetings & Conferences at M Shed

Host meetings and conferences at M Shed, a distinctive harbourside venue set within a 1950s transit shed. The mix of waterfront views, industrial character and modern facilities creates a calm and professional setting for your agenda. Flexible spaces accommodate everything from small meetings to full-day conferences, with a dedicated events team on hand to help plan and run the day smoothly.

Modern meeting spaces with harbour views

M Shed offers a range of adaptable meeting and conference spaces designed to suit different group sizes and formats. The Harbour View and Waterside Suites provide open-plan layouts with natural light and panoramic harbour views, supporting presentations, seminars and larger delegate events. The Studios offer a more contained environment for training sessions, workshops and breakout meetings, while still retaining the character of the building.

Integrated AV, reliable Wi-Fi and practical layouts support productive working days. Seasonal catering options are designed to keep delegates energised, with refreshments and lunches served seamlessly around the agenda. Accessible facilities across the venue ensure all guests can participate comfortably. Event managers oversee every detail in advance and on the day, allowing organisers to focus on their objectives.

What people have to say

The event was amazing from start to finish, the venue was beautiful, and the staff were just wonderful. Thank you for your help and patience in getting our event set up, and to the events managers who helped us throughout the day and evening! 

The service was great, the food was delicious and the DJ was lush! I have had so many people say what a fun night it was so thanks for everything. We will definitely be recommending the space and I can imagine using it again in the future. 

A huge thank you to the events and catering teams for helping us run our conference yesterday. It went seamlessly and all the MShed staff were fantastic and attentive to our needs. I don't think it could have gone much better really! We're very grateful to all staff involved.
