About this Venue
The Royal Hall of Industries and Hordern Pavilion are historic landmarks in Moore Park, Sydney, originally constructed in 1913 and 1924 respectively, primarily as exhibition halls for the Royal Easter Show. Over the decades, they have evolved into versatile, multi-purpose entertainment and event venues, hosting concerts, gala dinners, product launches, and sporting events. The Hordern Pavilion is renowned for live music and entertainment, while the Royal Hall of Industries has been adaptively reused as a world-class sporting and community hub, including the headquarters for the Sydney Swans Football Club. Both venues have undergone significant upgrades to enhance their facilities and maintain their historical essence, offering modern amenities and flexible spaces for a wide array of events.
