Entire Venue - The After Party
16 Railway Place East, Preston
About the function space
The After Party space reclaims a faded beauty - a circa 1904 brick warehouse that has been home to leather merchants, a dentist, a furniture trader, and a tool manufacturer over its long history - creating a stunning space that blends the original industrial bones with lush greenery, blonde wood, and copper. The After Party offers supreme flexibility for whatever event you're dreaming up!
Currently they have a permit to operate from 10am-5pm every day; this will hopefully extend in the months to come.
They welcome all sorts of events from conferences to parties, life drawing classes to weddings and everything in between - so long as you're happy to be done and dusted by 5pm.
After Party is fully self-catered for food or you can work with their caterer for grazing tables, per-head packages or a food truck next to the garden.
$100 Bar Tab Included
