The Community Shared Space

The Community Shared Space offers a flexible indoor venue in The Barnyard Shopping Village in Carmel, California. Organisers can book the space for private celebrations, business gatherings and community events, with exclusive use for the duration of their reservation. It can accommodate up to 75 people, making it suitable for smaller, welcoming occasions as well as meetings and workshops.

The venue is designed to give hosts room to shape an event around their own plans. Bookings can suit birthday parties, baby and bridal showers, fundraisers, seminars, training sessions, networking gatherings and intimate wedding celebrations. Organisers may bring their own food and drinks and choose their own vendors, rather than being tied to a required caterer or supplier. The space can also be arranged in different layouts for seated meals, presentations, workshops or more informal receptions.

Tables and chairs are available, alongside presentation and sound equipment such as a smart television, projector, screen, soundbar and microphone. High-speed Wi-Fi, smart lighting and a photo booth are among the available features. Free all-day parking at The Barnyard and accessible ramp routes add practical convenience for guests. Hosts can also request set-up and pack-down assistance, and some bookings include cleaning.

Reservations are offered in different time slots and package formats, with options for single-day and multi-day use. The venue is open to businesses, nonprofits and individuals, so event planners can consider it for both professional and personal gatherings. Its central appeal is a private, adaptable space where organisers can choose their own suppliers and create an event that fits their budget and preferred style.
