Adelaide Town Hall
Iconic Event Venues

Adelaide Town Hall is one of Adelaide’s most iconic buildings, having a great historical and social presence in the city. The public are encouraged to visit and are always welcomed to host an event in one of the several unique rooms available for hire, or simply wander around the exhibition space on Level One where there is always an ever changing calendar of events and exhibitions.

Parliamentarians, royals and celebrities are among the people that have graced the halls of the Town Hall – most famously back in 1964  where the Beatles visited Adelaide Town Hall waving to 350,000 adoring fans from the balcony. Today that balcony holds many special memories, provides an intimate and prestigious space for pre-dinner cocktails or acts as spectacular photo location for weddings and other special ceremonies.
