Correction (10 October 2026): an earlier version of this page listed places and details we could not stand behind. It has been rewritten from scratch: every place below was confirmed at two independent sources on 9 October 2026.
Cost first, always: we are not printing a price for any of these five. Check each venue before you go.
The list covers five places in and around Yarraville: three in Yarraville itself, one in Seddon and one in Kingsville. The mix is a cinema, a community centre, a gelato shop, a bookshop and a brewpub.
Every place was checked against at least two independent sources: OpenStreetMap, the venue’s own website and the Australian Good Food Guide (AGFG). Where a source gives opening hours, we say whose listing it is. Where it does not, we leave hours out.
The quick picks
| If you’re after | Head to | Where |
|---|---|---|
| Catching a film | Sun Theatre | 8 Ballarat Street, Yarraville |
| Local community activities | Yarraville Community Centre | 59 Francis Street, Yarraville |
| Gelato to take away | Augustus Gelatery | 175 Somerville Road, Yarraville |
| Browsing books | Seddon Book Alley | 107 Victoria Street, Seddon |
| Brewpub food and a drink | Barbarian Brewing Co. | 289 Geelong Road, Kingsville |
Sun Theatre — 8 Ballarat Street, Yarraville VIC 3013
Sun Theatre is the film option on this list. Its own site, suntheatre.com.au, and OpenStreetMap both place it on Ballarat Street in Yarraville.
We have not printed ticket prices or session times. OpenStreetMap carries an opening-hours tag, but it reads like a blanket daily range rather than a screening schedule, so treat it as unreliable and look at the site for what is on.
Rain backup: If the weather turns, a film is the indoor plan, so check what is screening on the Sun Theatre site before you set out.
Yarraville Community Centre — 59 Francis Street, Yarraville VIC 3013
Yarraville Community Centre is on Francis Street. Its own site, ycc.net.au, and OpenStreetMap agree on the address.
We are not printing a program, fees or opening hours for it, so we are not guessing at any of them. The site is the place to see what is currently running.
Free first: We could not confirm any free sessions, so check ycc.net.au for the current program before you plan around the centre.
Augustus Gelatery — 175 Somerville Road, Yarraville VIC 3013
Augustus Gelatery is the gelato stop. The brand’s own locations page lists a Yarraville store on Somerville Road, and OpenStreetMap and AGFG agree.
AGFG’s listing shows Monday to Friday from 1:00 PM to 10:30 PM, and Saturday and Sunday from 12:00 PM to 10:30 PM. That directory is owner-maintained, so the hours may be out of date. AGFG also lists takeaway.
Plan it: AGFG’s hours put this in the afternoon and evening, so slot it after your daytime stops rather than before them.
Seddon Book Alley — 107 Victoria Street, Seddon VIC 3011
Seddon Book Alley is just over the border in Seddon, next to Yarraville. Its own site and OpenStreetMap agree on the Victoria Street address.
The site lists opening hours Friday to Sunday from 10am. OpenStreetMap’s tag says Thursday to Sunday from 10:00, so the two sources differ. Go with the venue’s own listing and check before you travel.
Get there: It sits in Seddon, so put the address into the PTV journey planner for the route from where you are.
Barbarian Brewing Co. — 289 Geelong Road, Kingsville VIC 3012
Barbarian Brewing Co. is a brewpub with a kitchen in Kingsville, next to Yarraville. Its own site and AGFG agree on the Geelong Road address.
The site lists Wednesday 12-9pm, Thursday to Saturday 12-10pm and Sunday 12-9pm. It says the kitchen closes at 9pm Wednesday to Saturday and 8pm on Sunday. AGFG lists Child Friendly, Vegan Options, Live Music and Alfresco Dining.
Plan it: Its site has the kitchen closing an hour earlier on Sunday than on the other days it lists, so make this your last stop and not your first.

How we checked
We checked every place on this page against at least two independent sources on 9 October 2026: OpenStreetMap, the places’ own websites and the Australian Good Food Guide. We copied no menu prices from these places’ own pages, so this page prints none. Menus, prices and opening hours change, so check with the venue before you go. The cover photo is illustrative, from Unsplash, and does not show any place on this page.
