Courtyards and Forecourts


Gorman Arts Centre’s two internal courtyards are beautiful garden spaces, each with a magnificent Hawthorn tree at the centre. These peaceful and secluded outdoor areas can easily accommodate several hundred guests, for events, film screenings, live music and weddings.
There are also two smaller forecourts available for hire on the north side of Gorman Arts Centre, facing Batman Street.
