Metropolitan Meat Market, primarily known as Meat Market, in Melbourne, Australia, is a former market building that also incorporates the Metropolitan Hotel.[1] It was designed by George Johnson and completed in 1874. It has been listed on the Victorian Heritage Register since 1973.[2]
The venue has undergone many iterations and currently serves as an arts venue under the City of Melbourne.[3] Annually, the venue hosts cultural and social events ranging from theatre, circus, dance to food and wine fairs, music launches and private functions, in addition to festivals including Melbourne Fringe Festival, RISING, and Yirramboi Festival.
