Cocktail reception

Terrace Rooms or the Gordon Darling Hall are available for you to create a unique cocktail reception experience for your guests. The Terrace Room opens onto a north facing, outdoor heated terrace with the iconic Canberra views of Lake Burley Griffin, Telstra Tower and the lights of the impressive buildings that make up the Parliamentary Triangle, most of which are lit by colour at night. The Gordon Darling Hall is the main entrance foyer that never fails to impress, with its soaring ceiling and natural light making it perfect for your reception.

The Gordon Darling Hall also leads into the permanent gallery collection and we encourage you to begin your evening with an exclusive viewing of gallery’s collection before beginning the formalities of your event, giving your guests something to remember.
