Located in the heart of Launceston, the historic Albert Hall is one of Tasmania’s most iconic venues.

Surrounded by the picturesque City Park and close to cafés, hotels, and attractions, the Albert Hall offers delegates a welcoming and memorable Tasmanian experience.
THE TRAMSHEDS
The Launceston tramsheds, originally built in 1911 for the Launceston Municipal Tramways, served as the city’s tram depot and workshops.

Just a short walk from the CBD, the venue sits among key attractions including the Queen Victoria Museum and Art Gallery and the University of Tasmania.
