Sun Street Studios

Live performance—from the raw to the refined. A seat for everyone.

Sun Street Studios is an intimate performance venue in central Maitland, offering a diverse mix of live music, spoken word, small theatre, and one-off creative events.

Audiences might find themselves captivated by a world-class piano or guitar recital one week, part of the noise at a local punk show the next - and surprised by a clever, provocative turn in a night of burlesque soon after.

The space hosts everything from all-ages gigs and contemplative storytelling to bold cabaret and experimental works - an eclectic and inclusive program shaped by curiosity and community.

Set inside a storied 1840s building, the venue has long been a place of gathering, storytelling, and celebration. Once Dickson's Store and later the Royal Hotel, it now weaves its own evolving character into Maitland's narrative.
