About Royal Melbourne Showgrounds
The Royal Melbourne Showgrounds in Ascot Vale is a premier, multi-space event venue in Melbourne that blends indoor and outdoor areas to host a wide range of events—from the annual Melbourne Royal Show to exhibitions, trade shows, concerts, and TV productions. Formerly known as the Royal Melbourne Showgrounds, the venue was renamed Melbourne Showgrounds in 2006 and remains a staple stop for event organizers and attendees alike. With modular spaces like the Exhibition Pavilion, Main Arena, Grand Pavilion, Melbourne Royal Centre, and Town Square, there’s a flexible configuration to fit almost any occasion. This page helps you plan your visit, secure your tickets, and navigate parking, transit, and nearby lodging and dining options.
Whether you’re attending a show, expo, or filming event, you’ll find practical details to make your experience smoother. The venue offers on-site parking for events up to roughly 2,000 vehicles, plus paid parking at Flemington Racecourse nearby. Accessible parking bays are available on-site (48 total), and there are off-site accessible options. Public transit is convenient, with Route 57 tram service, Showgrounds Station trains for some events, and bus routes 404 and 472 in the vicinity.
