The Fish Creek Memorial Hall was built in 1930 and has served as a community hub for our town ever since – hosting dances, teas, concerts, meetings, classes and much more for the community down through the decades.
As a memorial hall, the beautiful building houses honour boards acknowledging those who served and those who fell in World War 1, World War 2, Vietnam and other conflicts in the world. The volunteer committee of management hosts ANZAC Day annually with cuppas and ANZAC bikkies in the Hall, following the remembrance service at the Fish Creek Cenotaph.
Currently the Hall is used and available for many different functions including:
- concert, performance and theatre space
- exhibition space
- weddings
- anniversaries
- parties
- meeting space
- cinema
- church
- teaching space
- funerals/wakes
- dance rehearsals
- dance hall
- and of course, the fabulous Fishy Opp Shop is open every weekend! And the entire hall is filled with bargains during the January Sale, a project which supports local community groups, whose volunteers take turns to run the sale and profit share with the Hall.
The purpose of the Hall is to function as a viable social and cultural centre for the enjoyment and well-being of the Fish Creek community. It is a versatile space offering a venue for the events, needs and purposes required by the people of the town and district. It’s the social centre of the town.
The Fish Creek Memorial Hall is owned by the Fish Creek Memorial Hall Committee on behalf of the township, and is not publicly funded.
The Fish Creek Memorial Hall is also the proud home of the famous Fish Creek Tea Cosy Festival.
