At Hangar 5 Unique Event Venue, history isn’t just preserved — it’s experienced. Located at Essendon Fields Airport, just 15 minutes from Melbourne’s CBD, our 900-square-metre hangar has been carefully restored to become one of Victoria’s most distinctive venues for corporate events, weddings, private functions, productions, and celebrations.
Originally built in the mid-1930s to house iconic aircraft DC-3, this venue now serves a new mission: to host unforgettable moments in a space where heritage meets innovation.
