Gunners’ Barracks Sydney Events
Gunners’ Barracks is one of Sydney’s most iconic heritage sites offering several unique spaces for weddings, corporate functions and social gatherings.

Whether it’s a large get-together or a small affair, you’ll find private and semi-private spaces available with custom furnishings and elegant details that will make any celebration one to remember.

Venue Testimonials
This place is a hidden gem. […] Tye view is spectacular.
Shweta Rai
We had our wedding reception here 10 years ago. […] It looks as crisp as it did when our reception was held there. We're so glad to see it being maintained so well. The views are still fantastic and the remote setting of this historic site so close to the city is still special.
Matthew Shanahan
The food was tasty and location is scenic. Excellent service, very professional staff.
