Midsumma Festival, Melbourne’s annual LGBTQIA+ arts and cultural event, is in urgent need of new office space after receiving a sudden 30-day notice to vacate its premises. Its current tenancy ends this Saturday (13 July), forcing the team to move all non-essential items into storage and work remotely for the immediate future.
While the Festival’s team have been considering to relocate from their office in Hanover House, Southbank for some time, they were assured by previous management that the current tenancy agreement would run until early 2025. However, the notice to vacate was issued last month after new building management took over.
