Venue Highlights

The Paddington Town Hall was designed in a Municipal Rennaissance style exhibiting typical Victorian grandeur. The Govenor of NSW, Lord Jersey opened the Hall in 1891.

The venue features a gracious entrance, an expanse of polished floors and 15 metre high ceilings ideal for large scale dinners, exhibtions, conferences and concerts.
