All spaces are air-conditioned and the Church Auditorium and Dungeon performance space feature professional lighting and sound desks. There are two commercial kitchens (approved by council) for hire. These kitchens can be hired in conjunction with a room booking, or hired separately – for food preparation for catering/markets etc.
Groups and organisations that use our venue for concerts include Hunter Singers, Opera Hunter, Music Teachers Association, Newcastle Music Festival, Tradewinds Folk, Newcastle Fringe Festival, Easy Voices Chorus and local music studios.
The wonderful acoustics of the Adamstown Uniting Church along with its 6′ Yamaha Grand attract many artists to choose it as a concert venue.
All our venue spaces are wheelchair accessible except for the Green Room/Children’s activity room behind the Memorial Hall stage. Our carpark includes designated accessible parking spaces. Please note that ramp access to enter the church and memorial hall is via the gate at the top of the carpark. There is an accessible toilet on both floors of the building. Service animals are welcome inside all our venues.
Please contact the office for any additional questions related to accessibility.
