Venue

A Venue is commonly the scene of an event or action (especially the place of a meeting). In law, it designates the jurisdiction where a trial will be held. The word venue derives from the Latin for to come, and implies a place that people come to. As such, the term is used about as variously as there are activities to meet together for.
