Barneys Venue Hire

Located in the bustling southern CBD of Sydney, Barneys offers a collection of stunning, award-winning modern spaces that are ideal for hosting a wide array of events. With the convenience of being a short walk from Central Station, it's easily accessible for guests travelling from across the city as well as those coming from further afield. Barneys provides an outstanding setting for weddings, conferences, training events, concerts, receptions, exhibitions, exams, meetings, and other significant gatherings. The venue's standout feature is its Main Auditorium, capable of seating up to 500 guests in a theatre style. This striking space is bathed in light, with state-of-the-art audio-visual technology, elegant curved walls, and a high ceiling that delivers a sense of grandeur. Accompanying the auditorium is a large foyer, a serving kitchenette, and an inviting courtyard which houses a landscaped garden and heritage displays, perfect for event guests to mingle. For events requiring a slightly smaller yet equally versatile space, the Howard Guinness Hall is remarkable. Located below the Main Auditorium, this versatile hall can host up to 200 guests and is well-equipped with Sound and AV facilities. Its multipurpose nature makes it perfect for receptions, parties, large meetings, and more. The hall's connection to the spacious downstairs foyer enhances its capacity for larger scale events. The Upstairs Foyer, filled with natural light, is another gem of Barneys, accommodating 150 people standing. It's ideal for a relaxed party or casual networking event, with inbuilt couches, overhead AV facilities, and convenient proximity to a kitchenette. Likewise, the ground floor's Downstairs Foyer, also fitting 150 standing guests, offers intimate flexibility for bespoke setups, complete with its AV equipment, art display capabilities, and adjacent commercial kitchen. Speaking of kitchens, Barneys boasts a fully equipped Commercial Kitchen, designed to support a broad spectrum of catering requirements — perfect from light refreshments to elaborate banquet services. The kitchen features high-end facilities such as a combination steam oven, commercial-grade cooker, and plenty of crockery and cutlery to service up to 200 people. For smaller gatherings, Barneys offers versatile meeting rooms accommodating 2-50 people. These rooms can be tailored to match the formality level you desire, with easy access to kitchen facilities and AV equipment. Overall, Barneys stands out as a premier venue for hosting successful events in Sydney, combining versatility, modern facilities, a convenient location, and award-winning design to provide a seamless and memorable experience for all occasions.
