Venue Hire
Looking for a place to hold your next event, audition, or private screening?
The Mercury can help!
From birthday parties, multiplayer gaming, conferences, award ceremonies, end of year corporate celebrations, and volunteer thank you events to premiere screenings, album launches, and end of life memorials, The Mercury is the perfect place to hold your event.
The 186-seat main theatre has been a unique home to screen culture in South Australia for over 30 years. In the same building you’ll also find the intimate 36-seat Iris Cinema, and our foyer with candy bar and licensed bar.
Whether it be a corporate video, PowerPoint presentation, home movies, feature films or website launches, we can show it on our big screen. The Mercury’s extensive networks within the film industry mean that we can source new releases, old classics, and everything in between.

A supportive team made sure the projection and Q&A ran smoothly. All the ingredients made for a truly memorable night.” – Kay Pavlou – Producer, Director
“We recently hired The Mercury to host a charity fundraising event, and everything went so well! The team were super helpful and flexible from the planning stages right through to pack up at the end of the night, and our guests loved being in the cinema for the event. Definitely recommend!” – 10×10 Adelaide
“The Mercury has been one of our biggest supporters since the festival started. We can’t thank the team enough for their support and the massive effort they put in to ensure your event runs as smoothly as possible. Highly recommend The Mercury!” – Adelaide Independent Film Festival
“From start to finish, the staff were wonderful – warm, professional, and genuinely interested in helping us deliver a wonderful 48 Hour Film Project for local filmmakers. The staff’s attention to detail, from planning to execution, made everything run smoothly, and we felt supported and valued. The venue itself provided the perfect atmosphere and we look forward to returning next year. I highly recommend The Mercury for anyone looking for a venue with heart and professionalism. It continues to be an important, iconic South Australian institution.” Anita Baltutis (Producer, Adelaide 48 Hour Film Project)
