The Gantry

Set within the tranquil grounds of the TreeChurch and Gardens, The Gantry offers a unique indoor venue for hire — ideal for corporate, community, and family events.

This striking space blends its original 1970s character with a modern industrial feel, thanks to a thoughtful refurbishment completed in 2021. Whether you’re hosting a workshop, celebration, or gathering, The Gantry provides a versatile setting for up to 100 guests, with bookings available until 9pm.
