About this space
The Dale Loft is a versatile and rustic, warehouse-style space available to hire in the heart of Chippendale.
The west-facing windows give you the most spectacular afternoon light, which starts creeping in after lunch, and stretches all the way into the space as you watch the sunset over the neighbouring roof tops.
The interiors at The Dale Loft is specifically designed to enhance the rustic nature of the nearly 100 year old space. Leaning into the rich creative history of the building, and adding a vintage modern flare, the Dale Loft is a perfect space for your editorial shoot, team meeting, or small gathering.
The space is wheelchair accessible, with a ground-level entrance and elevator. all doors and hallways fit a moderate/average sized wheelchair. However, please note, while bathroom is accessible via a short ramp, there isn't any hand-rails or mobility aids available.
Enquire now if you’d like to build a set, paint walls, or transform the space, we’re open to creativity.
If you’re looking for a unique space to run a workshop, celebrate a birthday or host an intimate dinner, we’re a perfect space for that too!
The high ceilings, rustic floor boards, newly renovated kitchen and old-world charm add a talking point to any group event. We're located right behind Central One, in the creative hub of Chippendale. Walking distance to major public transport and super close to GREAT food!
Lighting equipment available to hire, just let us know what you're thinking you'll need
---- NOTE: We don't host loud, boozy parties ----

Everything was absolutely perfect! The venue is so beautiful, and everyone loved the space and the lovely decoration. Kate was amazing—so kind and helpful. She even helped organise the chairs before we arrived, which made everything so easy for us. Highly recommend this place for any event!

Lack of AC. I wish there was a non noisy good AC. With not too many people it felt quite hot.

Kate was outstanding with communication, answering questions leading up to and on the day. Very helpful. Even helping us by putting brand specific coloured objects on the shelving units. Space is fantastic for creating different looks. Really cool. All the light stands and c stands you need provided. Recording videos, traffic sound was minimal as the studio isn't on the road side. We did have a motorbike pull up outside in the alleyway which we had to stop for, but not for long. Overall, I would say it's pretty perfect for outside noise, only a couple of moments during a 6 hour shoot. Which in central Sydney is the same as a 5 star rave review! Hire this space, you won't regret it!
