Default Know of any good (cheap) spaces for small group presentations - Brisbane?

Hi
I have a client looking for a space to hold meditation classes in for approx 10 - 20 people on a regular basis in Brisbane (mostly at night). Does anyone know of a good but relatively cheap space? Most of the hotels and more mainstream venues are way too expensive.

thanks for your help
Lisa

It's been 12 years since I lived in Brisbane ... but try having a look at Wellness Centres ... my mother used to run meditation groups at the Inner Peace and Harmony Centre in Kedron, but I'm fairly sure that's long gone ... Wellness Centres or holistic practitioners are probably your best bet.

What about looking at school or church halls? Many of these are empty at night and are happy to rent them out. Scout or Guide halls may also be rented out at night when they're not being used for groups.

Community Centres/Neighbourhood Houses often have multiple rooms that they hire out - preference may be given to community/ non-profit hirers, but they will look at commercial arrangements, too. Usually a range of room sizes and fees are available.

Cheers,
Sheryl

Your client will also require Public Liability Insurance regardless of where they hire.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions - we have investigated most of your suggestions already - there is a surprising lack of availability so far!! Have found one option though so that's a start!

cheers
Lisa

I would suggest the further out of Brisbane you go the cheaper it would be. I'm guessing this is not your intention though. Maybe try Angie Hammond of Business Connector. She would have done some research on good venues and might have some contacts in this area.
