Grand on Ann

Grand on Ann is a distinctive event venue in Brisbane CBD, occupying the heritage-listed building at 311 Ann Street, also known as the Masonic Memorial Centre. The site is being reworked as a modern event setting while retaining the character of the original building, making it a strong option for organisers seeking something more memorable than a standard function room. It is centrally located, around 150 metres from Central Station and 500 metres from the Riverside Ferry Terminal.

The venue’s largest space is the Grand Hall on level three, which can seat up to 600 people. Its setting includes symbolic décor, gold-leaf details and the Whitehouse Pipe Organ, giving large-scale events a particularly distinctive backdrop. Other flexible spaces are designed for groups of 15 to 100 and suit meetings, exhibitions, presentations, dinners, performances and a range of private or corporate functions. The website also lists weddings, trade fairs, fashion parades, concerts, art displays, business presentations, school performances and theatre acts among the possible uses. With a 4.9 Google rating from 354 reviews, Grand on Ann is worth considering for event planners looking for a central Brisbane venue that can accommodate both intimate gatherings and substantial productions.
