Agora Events
We are so blessed here at Agora. Our humming cafe poses as the office space for our larger Agora team, with the beautiful french windows as our cubicles, and fresh barista coffee as our water-cooler. For many of our visitors Agora is the little slice of heaven they look forward to in their week, whether it is for tasty-every-time takeaway coffee or a 15 minute unwind sitting in the sunniest spot next to a Lily, tuning into the white-noise of cafe life.
And now Agora is excited to once again begin sharing this blessing with our wider community.
So we welcome you, our busy and bustling corporates, and our kind-hearted nation nurturers.

Our Auditorium can accommodate up to 350 guests standing with large soundproof doors that can be closed for the comfort and privacy of your guests. Alternatively, our doors can be fully opened to create an open-plan space flowing through to the cafe.
The low-rise stage is located at the rear of the auditorium and is equipped with full Audio and Visual capabilities, including basic stage lighting. This stage is a permanent fixture and cannot be removed or relocated. We also have a dedicated sound desk tucked away neatly to the immediate left past the Auditorium entrance.
Our venue has both aesthetic lighting and adjustable lighting to accommodate your needs. If you would like to share our venue with your colleagues please download the PDF version of our information package here.

Future developments…
While Events at Agora are just kicking off we will not be accepting inquiries for celebrations or parties such as weddings, birthdays, or anniversaries.
We also want to get off on the right foot and we are training our staff to be adequately prepared for your larger events. It is for this reason that we will not be accepting event bookings outside the hours of 8am - 4pm until further notice.
Please watch this space. We hope to grow and develop our team as soon as possible, so that we may have more to offer you in future.
