The Fields

Five acres for sport, culture and open-air events.

The Fields bring together five acres of open ground in multiple full-size playing areas, with stadium lighting for events after dark. Concerts, festivals, markets, exhibitions and sporting carnivals have all used the grounds, while Croatian House's indoor rooms, kitchens, bar and on-site parking can support the wider event plan.

The ground

Open to the event plan

Nothing on the ground fixes an event to one format.

Multiple full-size playing areas sit across five acres, with stadium lighting supporting planned use after dark. The Fields have hosted concerts, festivals, markets, exhibitions and sporting carnivals, as well as outdoor ceremonies that move indoors afterwards.

Marquees, vendors, stages, bars and spectator areas can be arranged around the event. Croatian House runs catering and bar service on the grounds, while indoor spaces can be included for production, presentations, VIP dining and contingency arrangements, subject to the booking.
