Situated in Barton, The National Press Club of Australia is bursting with rich political history, past and present. Established by journalists, The Press Club was created to provide a genuine national forum for ‘issue of the day’ discussions by the personalities who help shape them. The first official address dates back to more than 40 years ago.
The Press Club has since developed a reputation nationally and internationally as Australia’s leading forum for the discussion of issues and debate on public policy in a lively, informative and entertaining format.
Not just a prominent Canberra icon, rich with political history, the Press Club is also the perfect venue for a dazzling function.
Recently undergoing a modern facelift, the Press Club is now taking its function opportunities to the next level.
Shattering misconceptions that the Club is reserved for political addresses, it’s now also ideal for romantic wedding receptions, glittering awards ceremonies, fun parties, product launches and corporate conferences. Guests can take full advantage of state of the art audio-visual equipment that’s fit for Australia’s political elite, so you can play special video screenings, photo slideshows and more- to truly personalise your event.
The Club’s superb sound and lighting systems are available to functions of any size.
Up to 350 people can be accommodated in this function room, which has been referred to as a ‘state of the art television studio’ by the Press Club staff. This term may give you the impression of a technical room, but while it possesses many technical capabilities, the venue’s warm décor and inviting open space can be transformed into a dazzling event, catered to your personal or company tastes in everyway.
Excellent catering options are available and menus can be designed to suit special events. The talented team can assist in planning a comprehensive presentation to include decorations, production and service procedures.
The Press Club is also a great social spot, where you can mix with people of similar sensibilities. Recognized as the thinking person’s social venue, the Press Club is the perfect location for low key drinks in a non threatening environment. Each Thursday and Friday night The National Press Club also features some of Australia’s best live music, from smooth jazz to soft rock.
