ESTONIAN HOUSE
________________________________________
43 Melville Rd, West Brunswick
catch tram Route 55 from the City and Coburg
catch bus Route 508 from Moonee Ponds and Alphington (note last
bus will have departed by the time the concert finishes)
Good on-street parking in Melville Rd, Victoria St and surrounding
streets
Melville Rd is a regular taxi route
Concert Seating capacity:
300 unreserved seats which will be free-standing floor-level
seating.
Our main venue for many years has been the Brunswick Town Hall,
but it is not available for festival use in 2013. The Moreland
City Council have closed the Town Hall for major building works.
Consequently, we will be launching our new Festival venue at
Estonian House, 43 Melville Rd. West Brunswick located
just south of the cross roads with Victoria St. and north of
Hunter St. This historic building was built in 1928 as The Western
Picture Theatre and operated as such until 1960. It later reverted
to the Marco Polo and screened mainly Italian films until 1971,
when it was purchased by the Estonian Community.
The venue has a large high stage, excellent sight lines for
300 concert seating and the acoustics are brilliant. With the
injection of the 'Brunswick Music Festival vibe' Estonian
House will be an excellent replacement for the Town Hall and
home to the historic 25th Brunswick Music Festival.

In June 1931, Gladys Moncrieff, the undisputed Queen of Australian
musical comedy, "starred at the Western" in a special
live performance. The Brunswick Music Festival is proud to be
following in this tradition of live music making in Brunswick.

Coming to a show at Estonian House in West Brunswick?
We have discovered a little 'gem' which is just up the road
from Estonian House. If you fancy a woodfire pizza before your
show, Roy's on Melville is the place to go.
A very tasty menu including wood fire pizza, focaccia, risotto,
pasta, salads and deserts, all very reasonably priced. Gluten
Free Pizza Bases also available.

Diagonally opposite from the Town Hall is the Mechanics'

activities. A monument to the Free Speech fights of the 1930s
stands near the corner. The building was acquired by the Brunswick
City Council in 1927 and for many years served as the Brunswick
Municipal Library. The building is now home to the Mechanics
Institute Performing Arts centre, and boasts a fully equipped
community theatre space. It is also the administrative home
of the Brunswick Music Festival.
