The Women’s College is conveniently located only seven kilometres from the Brisbane city centre and has easy access to transport facilities, including the Citycat ferry to the city and Southbank.
Flanked by University lakes and the Brisbane River, the College is an attractive location for conferences and functions - a venue of distinction for every occasion.
The College provides a wide range of well-equipped venues suitable for small and large groups.
The Harriet Marks Dining Hall, seating up to 240 guests, is tastefully appointed with original tapestries, lead light windows and art works. The Dining Hall includes a stage area and grand piano making it ideal for a performance to accompany a meal.
With antique furniture and complimentary fittings the Freda Bage Common Room is an elegant venue. Located just off the Dining Hall and verandah areas, it is ideal for a small to medium sized private function.
The College Playhouse is situated in the beautiful grounds of The Women's College and was opened by His Excellency the Governor of Queensland in October 1997.
