Historic courtyard venue for vibrant outdoor events
The Cloisters Courtyard is one of Adelaide University’s most atmospheric and recognisable outdoor spaces, offering a striking blend of heritage character and open-air flexibility.
Featuring red-brick arches, Tuscan columns, and warm terracotta tones, the Cloisters has long been a beloved gathering space for students and staff.
Surrounded by historical architecture and connected to the iconic UniBar ADL, The Cloisters is a memorable setting for celebrations, festivals, social events, and photography.
Features
With three separate bookable zones, the Cloisters is a versatile space that extends to the lawn area and walkway facing Victoria Drive.
Configuration options include cocktail setup with a capacity of over 1000, or cabaret to seat 400.
The Cloisters provides access to both water and standard power only. Food trucks are generally permitted for after-hours events.
Conditions of use
To maintain integrity of the lawn area, any marquees must be weighted rather than pegged.
Barbecues may be used in the lawn area only, however a fat catcher is required.
Any alcohol served must be obtained through the UniBar. Contact the UniBar directly for information.
