Opened by the Administrator of the Northern Territory
in 1986 ‘on behalf of the people of Darwin’,
the Darwin Entertainment Centre is the premier entertainment
and convention venue in the Top End of Australia.
Located in the heart of the city in the Mitchell
Street entertainment district, the Centre is close
to all amenities and easy to access.
The Centre can accommodate almost any kind of performance
or event, large or small, and has played host to
major national and international acts as well as
Darwin-based artists, local Eisteddfod competitions,
and school concerts.
Facilities include the Playhouse, a large,
traditional proscenium arch theatre seating
approximately 1000, and the smaller, more
intimate, Studio Theatre which seats 290 in
theatre mode, or 200 in cabaret configuration.
There is also an Exhibition Gallery and Rehearsal
Room. Access for the physically disabled and audio
enhancement facilities in both theatres ensure
that the Centre remains accessible to all.
