Events
Urrbrae House is an accredited museum and is utilised by the University of Adelaide for a variety of educational and cultural activities.
We are currently able to take only limited event bookings on weekends (including wedding photography) due to staffing shortages. Please be aware that for any events during business hours Covid-19 restrictions will impact on the types of events that may be possible at Urrbrae House.
Urrbrae House is not a function centre. However, some of its public rooms and grounds are available for hire by the community. Please note that Urrbrae House is not available for hire during certain periods due to requirements by the University of Adelaide and other on-campus organisations.
To limit the wear and tear on the House and grounds, only one event booking is taken per weekend. Those hiring Urrbrae House and its gardens are asked to respect the site's unique setting, and its heritage furnishings and fixtures.

No smoking
Please note that as of 1 January 2011 the Waite Campus of the University of Adelaide became a smoke-free environment. This includes all buildings and facilities, and outdoor areas including gardens and carparks. Smoking is therefore not permitted in Urrbrae House or its surrounding gardens.
