With multiple room layout options available, we can tailor the space to suit your event’s needs, whether you’re planning a small, intimate gathering or a larger, more elaborate affair. The picturesque setting also makes it an ideal location for memorable photographs, adding a unique touch to your event.

With a fully equipped commercial kitchen and bar, this versatile space ensures your event runs smoothly while providing the freedom to tailor the layout to your needs. Our design team is available to help you customise the seating and flow, creating the perfect setting for your function.
The Pavilion features a large industrial ceiling fan for comfort and a beautifully lit fairy-light roof that sets a magical atmosphere, especially as the day turns to evening. Surrounded by lush native gardens, the venue offers a peaceful and picturesque backdrop, making it an ideal location for both formal and casual events. Whether you’re hosting a celebration or corporate gathering, The Pavilion is the perfect choice.

Choose to host your event in front of the iconic historical stone collage, a stunning backdrop that adds character and charm to any occasion.
