What makes this location one of Sydney's favourite entertainment venues?
Hordern is a Sydney landmark that was built in 1924 to offer vendors more exhibition space at the Royal Easter Show. Previously a socially significant Sydney Landmark, it then morphed into one of Australia's largest live entertainment venues, hosting everything from up-and-coming bands to music festivals and concerts to fashion runway shows and epic Mardi Gras parties among others.
With such a lively atmosphere and its incredible versatility, the search is now over for your next go-to event location!
What are the food options at this location?
The Hordern has a variety of food and beverage outlets. You can get snacks or drinks in both the foyer, as well as inside the pavilion itself! Also, since it is just a stone's throw away from the Entertainment Quarter and 10 minutes away from the CBD means that there are plenty of restaurants one can visit before or after a show.
