Old Melbourne Gaol

Dine within the storied bluestone walls of one of Melbourne’s most iconic heritage landmarks.

There is genuinely no other venue in Melbourne quite like this. The Old Melbourne Gaol is heritage-listed, bluestone-built, and charged with the kind of atmosphere that money can't manufacture. It stops guests in their tracks before a single canapé has landed.

CSE brings the culinary theatre to match. From intimate dinners in the Cellblock to grand-scale cocktail receptions in The Courtyard, events here are atmospheric by nature and extraordinary by design.
