The Carrington

Hello, thank you for checking out our website.

The Carrington, (Formerly Carrington House) is located right in the heart of Bathurst CBD in beautiful Keppel St. See the Google Map in our Contact us section.

If you're looking for WOW Factor and uniqueness, The Carrington is the venue you are looking for.

We have intimate spaces perfect for 20 guests and huge ballrooms seating 350 guests.

The Venue is a fully restored Victorian- Era Moulin Rouge Theatre. Built in 1889 by the Masons, the venue retains much of the original Masonic symbolism in venue markings and interior layout. In 2006, the ground floor and the Third floor were extensively renovated. In 2009, our Mezzanine Level was completely re built enabling us to seat up to 350 including the dance floor space.

Please call us for an obligation free quote or a venue tour. We are open anytime by appointment.
