Venue Hire
It is possible to contact the Bean Tree Cafe directly to enquire about events and functions with a small footprint and/or access requirements. Often garden staff do not need to get involved unless larger common areas or there are specific event requirements.
The gardens provide a versatile and picturesque venue for hire, perfect for a wide range of events, from intimate gatherings and weddings to workshops and community celebrations.
Surrounded by the natural beauty of native flora, the space offers a serene and inspiring atmosphere that enhances any occasion.
With options for both indoor and outdoor settings, the venue can be tailored to meet the needs of diverse groups, making it an ideal choice for fostering creativity, connection, and memorable experiences.
