We had our work end of year party in the Pavilion and could not recommend the Orchard enough. The team was professional and on the ball, and there were many package options to suit. It was by far the best experience I've had with a venue.

Can we have a red carpet and photo wall?

Why The Orchard
Celebrate your awards ceremonyat The Orchard
Awards nights take The Woolshed: a raised stage with lighting rig, dual screens for the nominee reel, lectern and wireless microphones, and round tables for up to 200 with the bar in the room. The Pavilion suits ceremonies to 200.
Pre-dinner drinks on the Alfresco, a plated 3-course dinner from Freddy’s kitchen, then the DJ. Our AV team runs the show from a cue sheet so your MC just reads the names.
