Non-match day

One of the lesser-known benefits of being an MCC member is the opportunity to avail yourself and your guests of the function and dining facilities on offer at the MCG on non-match days.

Members can book fabulous locations such as the Members' Dining Room, Long Room or Bullring Bar for private functions with a touch of class. Please note that use of the Long Room for private functions requires approval from the MCC Committee.

MCC members can be treated to an enhanced culinary experience in the Members' Reserve as Guy Grossi brings his famed food and service to the MCC Committee Room at the MCG. Located on Level 2 of the Members' Reserve, adjacent to the Long Room, the Committee Room restaurant will be open for lunch service from Tuesday to Friday weekly on non-match days for bookings where patrons will enjoy hospitality from one of Melbourne's most highly regarded chefs.
