A Cathedral-like Venue

Winthrop Hall
University of Western Australia (UWA)

The jewel in the University of Western Australia’s crown, Winthrop Hall is WA’s premier ceremonial space. Since 1932, Winthrop Hall has presented artists of the highest calibre and welcomed many Prime Ministers, Presidents and Heads of State, including Her Majesty the Queen.

The cathedral-like venue welcomes patrons with a marble and mosaic foyer and vaulted ceilings. Winthrop Hall’s bright acoustic is ideal for choral and classical music with the added option of a more intimate recital mode. It is also a superb venue for formal dinners and functions.
