VENUE HIRE DOC

A space that moves with the city.
Work here. Meet here. Celebrate here. Create here.

A HOME FOR CULTURE, COMMUNITY & CREATIVITY.

Industrial bones, warm details, natural light, and character you can’t fake.

People don’t just book The Electric for the room — they book it for the energy.

ENQUIRE NOW

Front view of a yellow building with a sign that says 'The Electric' and the number 48 on the left side of the entrance. The building has large glass doors, and inside there are people sitting at tables, with colorful chairs visible. The weather appears clear.

The Electric is home to a community of filmmakers, designers, freelancers, musicians, writers, photographers, students, and neighbours who use the space to work, meet, and create.

We keep the space open, inclusive, and flexible —
a creative commons for anyone who needs it.
