Its rich history and striking architecture, with high ceilings and stone walls, create a visually impressive setting while offering exceptional acoustics—perfect for everything from classical music performances to keynote presentations. This unique atmosphere has played host to acclaimed events such as the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra Chorus and organ recitals.

Blending heritage charm with modern functionality, the church is equipped with high-end audiovisual systems, high-speed Wi-Fi, and facilities to accommodate external caterers. Whether you’re planning a business function, a cultural gathering, or a special celebration, St John’s offers all the essentials for a seamless and memorable event experience.

 

 

Mona

Just 15 minutes from central Hobart, Mona — designed by the acclaimed Fender Katsalidis Architects — is a place to explore, provoke, and inspire. More than a museum, it’s a playground of art, experimentation, and immersive experiences.

While Mona is renowned for its groundbreaking art collection, it also offers an array of exceptional amenities, including world-class restaurants, wine bars, a cellar door, boutique accommodation, a library, and even a chapel.

The venue boasts a range of event spaces accommodating groups from 10 to 450, both within the building and throughout the surrounding grounds. The highlight is The Void — a dramatic, subterranean space located 13 metres underground, featuring a Triassic-aged sandstone wall, original artworks, and a fully equipped cocktail bar.
