James Martin Room at Gawler Civic Centre


The prestigious James Martin Room delivers a wow factor for any special occasion. Enter the James Martin Room via the magnificent staircase and celebrate your event on the balcony overlooking Murray Street. Integrating nineteenth-century heritage with modern, contemporary architecture, this light-filled room exudes grandeur. The James Martin Room can cater for up to 72* guests for a cocktail event or is a perfect pre-function space when using the conjoined Hall. A significant and historical part of the State Heritage listed Institute is the Gawler Institute War Memorial Balcony – officially unveiled in 1931 – dedicated to the memory of those lost in World War One. * COVID-19 room capacity restrictions apply

Such a wonderful free event put on by amazing volunteers, Santa's workshop was a great idea and my 9 yr old son loved it!

The accessibility here is just so good. For an older building they have done an incredible job.. it's one of the few places I don't need to stress out when attending especially if I'm having an extremely bad physical day. The parking with a disability is tricky though unfortunately Staff are lovely and it's always clean Open areas are very cold. Wear layers. The rooms are nice and toasty or cool 😎

Interesting place, 3 levels, combined 2 old buildings into 1. A number of civic offices inside. The conference area on the top floor was showing a awesome collection of local artists on its walls while hosting the local market on the weekend
