ATET is Temporarily Closed - Please contact us for updates on re-opening.

Located in Victoria Harbour, Docklands and built across two levels with capacity for 550 guests, ATET is a unique floating event space, unlike anything Melbourne has seen. ATET’s diversity provides the perfect unique venue, capable of catering for any occasion, including corporate, weddings, Christmas parties, and other private celebrations.

Designed primarily as an outdoor, open-air space to enjoy beautiful sunny days, ATET - with heating for the cooler months and commercial misting fans for the summer - is suitable for all weather conditions. Fully enclosable with a series of clear PVC panels to enable year-round use, the transparent enclosure provides protection from the elements whilst maintaining the open-air atmosphere.

With d&b audiotechnik sound, creating an aural feast, fully programmable pixel strip LED lighting and a live streaming service, ATET is also designed for large scale events requiring a high level of production. ATET also features a commercial kitchen with executive in house Michelin trained chef offering the best of Melbourne's locally sourced produce.

LOCATION

ATET is located at North Wharf, Docklands. Walking distance from the CBD but removed from densely populated residential areas, ATET is highly accessible yet uniquely secluded. Situated on Docklands’ last remaining undeveloped industrial wharf, the location offers a distinct sense of privacy and unbridled freedom. Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, ATET is an escape from the concrete jungle.

With the dramatic backdrop of the towering Bolte Bridge and breathtaking, uninterrupted views of the Melbourne city skyline across Victoria Harbour, the setting invokes a sense of the surreal. In a forgotten place that time left behind, ATET is a floating island oasis.
