The building

It stands at 6101 University Avenue, B3H 4R2, right in the centre of Halifax.

Sir James Dunn Theatre was operated by Dalhousie Arts Centre.

A stated 198 makes this a breakout or workshop room rather than a plenary space.

Access and arrival

28 km (17 mi) separates Sir James Dunn Theatre from Halifax Stanfield International Airport (YHZ) — normal for a city venue, and worth a line in the joining instructions rather than a shuttle contract.

It is central, so a hotel block within walking distance is realistic and you can skip a shuttle entirely.

Halifax has 26 venues mapped in total and a population of 439,819. The Halifax guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.

The kind of event it takes

Think of it as one room in a bigger plan: a training day, a members' evening, a committee that needs to be in the same place. It is 10th of 26 venues mapped in Halifax.

  • networking mixers

    An independent space with its own character, which a mixer benefits from more than a conference does.

  • fundraisers and galas

    A room with a personality is worth more at a gala than square footage is.
