Frequently asked questions
What are the operating hours and earliest access times for events at Gordon Square?
The venue cannot accommodate events requiring access before 8:00 AM, as confirmed in correspondence where a 6:00 AM start time was declined. Standard operating hours appear to run from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM based on typical venue hire patterns.
Can I bring my own caterers for outdoor events like hog roasts or BBQs?
External catering arrangements may be possible, as one inquiry specifically mentioned bringing their own caterers for a hog roast. However, you'll need to complete application and due diligence forms for approval, and all external suppliers must be vetted by the venue.
What is the capacity limit for outdoor events at Gordon Square?
Specific capacity limits for Gordon Square are not detailed in available information. The venue operates on a sectional hire basis, suggesting different areas can accommodate varying group sizes, but exact numbers would need to be confirmed based on your specific event requirements.
What facilities and infrastructure are available for outdoor events?
Gordon Square is described as a grassy outdoor space with trees, shrubs and flowers, suitable for summer parties and performances. However, specific details about power supply, water access, toilet facilities, or covered areas are not specified in the available information.
What is the booking process and what forms are required?
All bookings require completion of an events application form and due diligence form before quotes can be provided. These forms are mandatory for review and approval, and must be submitted before a dedicated event manager can be assigned to your booking.
Are there restrictions on the types of activities allowed in Gordon Square?
The space is promoted as suitable for summer parties, performances, and street food festivals. However, specific restrictions on activities, noise levels, alcohol service, or equipment setup are not detailed in the available information and would need to be confirmed during the booking process.
What happens if my preferred date is not available?
The venue frequently experiences high demand with limited availability. If your preferred date is unavailable, they will suggest alternative dates - for example, when June 2025 was unavailable, alternatives like Tuesday 5th May 2026, Monday 11th May 2025, and Tuesday 12th May 2025 were offered.
How far in advance should I book Gordon Square for my event?
Based on availability patterns shown in correspondence, popular dates book up well in advance. The venue shows limited availability even for dates 6-12 months ahead, suggesting booking as early as possible is recommended, particularly for summer months when outdoor events are most popular.
