S.H. Ervin Gallery is an atmospheric venue in the historic National Trust Centre on Observatory Hill, close to The Rocks. Its gallery interior combines natural light and high ceilings with changing Australian art exhibitions, making it a distinctive setting for launches, private viewings, seated events and presentations. Published capacities include up to 250 for cocktails, 120 for seated dining or 100 for theatre-style presentations. Projector, screen and lectern facilities may be arranged. Hire is restricted by public opening hours and exhibition needs, so check dates and permitted activity early.
