Foyer

About

Situated inside the renowned James and Mary Emelia Mayne Centre, the Foyer is a unique space suitable for cocktail receptions and intimate panel discussions. Located on Level 2 the Foyer is a light filled space offering stunning views of Forgan Smith Building and the university grounds. The Foyer comes equipped with high wooden tables and bar stools. Additional furniture and equipment can be hired. 

During our opening hours you will have a dedicated area of the Foyer for your event that is sectioned off from the public. Enhance your event experience by booking outside of our standard opening hours to obtain a private viewing of our current exhibitions facilitated by our team of Mediators, and access to an expanded event space.
