Intimate Nordic tents that glow in the dark cluster around a magnificent ivory-sailcloth performance venue known as the Pleasuredome in the heart of Brisbane Powerhouse’s Performance Lawn.
Seating up to 450 people in long table feasting, cabaret tables or theatre-mode, this organic-shaped fluted theatre and event space responds to its relaxed sub-tropical location under Moreton Bay Figs beside the Brisbane River.
A destination for tourists and locals alike, the Pleasuredome features full-service bars and alfresco lounging zones to ensure a quality experience.
Pleasuredome will remain in place 10 months of the year for weddings and special private and corporate events.
During Brisbane Powerhouse’s major festivals, the Pleasuredome transforms into full theatre mode to stage music, comedy, circus, theatre, dance and cabaret.
This project has been supported by Brisbane City Council and Restart Investment to Sustain and Expand (Rise) Fund – an Australian Government initiative.
Enquires for the Pleasuredome can be made here.
