About Coburg Court House

The Coburg Court House is a dedicated arts space located at 1A Main St, Coburg (next to the old Coburg Police Station). It is managed by Arts Merri-bek.

Originally built in 1929, the building long served as a courthouse before becoming a community facility. In 2024 will begin its legacy as a venue for creative development.

It is a highly versatile rehearsal space for emerging, mid-career and professional artists. The space features high ceilings, heating/cooling system, accessible entrance, large windows with curtains and 1 accessible unisex bathroom. It is centrally located within close distance of Coburg Station.

Photos and more information about the space are available on our Coburg halls and meeting rooms page.
