Red Rattler Presents...

The Rat has become a creative playground for performers, musicians, artists, designers, multimedia makers, experimentalists, filmmakers, theorists, activists, collective organisers, and local punters. In addition to serving as a venue for hire, the Rat also plays a vital role in supporting and producing creativity from within its wall.

THE RED RATTLER REVEMP!

The Red Rattler Revamp Project, supported through the Sound NSW Venue Upgrade Grant, has delivered a major transformation across our venue improving safety, comfort, accessibility, and production capability for everyone who steps through our doors.

Over the past months, we’ve completed a series of essential upgrades. Building & Electric Works upgraded our venue wiring plus safety lighting and backstage fixes; a huge boost to our stage, sound and production setup; and we installed our brand-new ducted air-conditioning system, dramatically improving airflow, ventilation and overall air quality throughout the theatre.

This upgrade has been a game changer, as we head into a warm summer. Performers, audiences and crew will feel the difference immediately, with cooler, fresher air and a more comfortable environment for longer nights and packed shows.

We’ve created spaces that feel a whole lot easier and lovelier to work in. We’re also preparing an updated venue hire pack to show off the improvements, new images, and all the sparkly tech details.

Thanks to Sound NSW and our fantastic contractors, the Red Rattler is stepping into its next chapter stronger, safer and ready for even more wild, creative, community powered day’s & nights.

A much-needed glow-up and we’re ready to share the results!

The Red Rattler Soudproofing Project!

We are pleased to announce the successful completion of the soundproofing project at Red Rattler, a significant milestone made possible through the Acoustic Report from Marshall Day, funded by the Venues Unlocked Soundproofing grants. This initiative has proven to enhance sound mitigation within the venue.

The project plan has been thoroughly executed with the incredible team at Acoustica Australia. We are happy to report that we have received overwhelmingly positive feedback from audiences, venue hirers, bands, and other stakeholders. The improvements have not only elevated the overall experience for attendees but have also ensured that our neighbors are less affected by noise levels.

We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to the Sound NSW Team for their support throughout this project. Their guidance and assistance was instrumental in bringing this vision to life, allowing us to create a more enjoyable environment for everyone involved. As we move forward, we remain committed to maintaining these improvements and continuing our mission of providing exceptional experiences at Red Rattler.
