Surrey Gardens – garden area and rotunda

Surrey Hills

Surrey Gardens are beautiful heritage listed gardens ideal for:

  • social gatherings
  • small weddings
  • other celebrations.

The landscaped gardens provide a great backdrop to the stone cross (also known as a cenotaph), cannons and unusual artworks.

You can book the rotunda and a grass area in the garden for your exclusive use.

You can apply to bring up to 10 chairs and one table for events. You can't bring a marquee, arbour or other shade structure.

We require between 5 full business days and 8 weeks' notice, depending on your booking.

For more information about what you can and can't bring to outdoor events at our venues, visit our Outdoor event requirements page.
