From formal dinners and milestone celebrations to concerts, trade fairs, and corporate gatherings, this unique venue delivers a seamless blend of character, practicality, and ease of access, complete with ample free parking.
With a wide variety of event spaces available, Wellington School can accommodate anything from small group meetings to large-scale occasions.

If your event calls for something more dramatic, the Alan Rogers Centre offers theatre-style seating for 330, while the historic Great Hall accommodates 220 guests, making it ideal for concerts, keynote talks or elegant gala dinners.
The Prep Hall (capacity 128) and Lecture Theatre (also 128) offer functional spaces for training sessions, speaker events or film screenings, and Café 37, with standing room for 120, is perfect for receptions, exhibitions or more casual social functions.

Its stunning blue floor, intricate wood panelling and high vaulted ceilings lend a sense of grandeur to any occasion.
