Governor Phillip Hall & First Fleet Gallery
Spend a night at the museum.
Set against a dramatically lit backdrop of sandstone and limewashed brick, Governor Phillip Hall accommodates up to 50 guests for a banquet dinner or up to 200 guests for a cocktail party when combined with the First Fleet Gallery. Guests can glimpse the remains of the earliest foundations of British colonisation in Australia through glass openings, and can mingle freely among the exhibits if your event is adding on a tour.
The First Fleet Gallery overlooks the hall from level one and is ideal for pre-dinner drinks or a dance floor.
