About the function space

Have you ever thought of hosting an event at a place steeped in history? Look no further than the Russian House! This incredible venue is the perfect spot to immerse yourself in the rich history of Collingwood and Fitzroy.

The Russian House has been around since 1884, with a facade that showcases a mix of architectural styles.

The first-level Crystal Hall is inspired by Italian Renaissance design, while the second-level Emerald Hall blends seamlessly into Classical aesthetics.

Russian House has everything you need to host a fantastic event. It has a large kitchen and a kitchenette, so you can prepare all your food and drinks yourself. Or, if you prefer, you can always hire outsourced catering to make things even easier.
