Parramatta Town Hall

Parramatta Town Hall – Meet you here.

A transformation has taken place within the heart of Sydney’s central river city and burgeoning Parramatta CBD.

Parramatta Town Hall has undergone a recent upgrade, with the City of Parramatta carefully overseeing the adaptive reuse of the iconic building’s unique architectural charm and beauty, whilst adding contemporary touches that offer an air of modern comfort for this landmark venue.

With the reopening of this new premium venue space comes a landmark opportunity to be a part of its rich legacy, having served as a key community gathering space since 1883. A history set to be continued.

It is now possible to visualise your next gala event, exhibition, workshop or function in the magnificent Great Hall, in one of our three more intimate heritage rooms, or the newly-built glass atrium awash with natural light overlooking Parramatta Square.

Seamlessly blending heritage architecture with contemporary design, the integration between Parramatta Town Hall and PHIVE offers further opportunities to connect the community and embrace a new and exciting phase in the city’s transformation.
