A grand, historic venue for events
One of Adelaide University’s most recognisable landmarks, the heritage-listed Bonython Hall provides a distinguished and grand setting for major events. Built in the 1930s as a gift from Sir Langdon Bonython, the gothic-inspired building is constructed from Murray Bridge limestone with interiors finished in polished Australian oak creating a lavish atmosphere.

Bonython Hall is located adjacent to the Goodman Crescent lawns.
