This depends on which tabernacle you are asking about.
The original tabernacle in the Old Testament was a sort of portable temple, where the sacrifices and ceremonies found in the law of Moses could be carried out.
In Catholicism and some other Christian denominations, the tabernacle is a small compartment or container that is used to store the elements of the the communion or eucharist ceremony.
In Protestant Christianity, some churches use the word 'tabernacle' synonymously with the word 'church' - for example the name of a church or congregation may be called the "Gospel Tabernacle" instead of the "Gospel Church".
In Mormonism, a tabernacle was initially a large meetinghouse used for regional (stake) meetings. However, building tabernacles proved to be expensive and the church quickly adopted the current system of having one large regional church (a stake center) instead. Some of these historic tabernacles still exist and are used for large meetings, concerts, and other events. The most famous is the Salt Lake Tabernacle on Temple Square - home of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. This building is still used for concerts and large meetings.
