Weddings at the Railway Barracks

Looking for a venue that radiates the tranquil charm and romance of the bush, yet offers contemporary amenities? Railway Barracks combines the rare appeal of a rustic, authentic train carriage and its own platform with modern comfort throughout. Step inside and you will find every convenience at your fingertips.

The neighbouring hall features a fully refurbished, spacious kitchen with two stoves, microwave, fridges, freezer and ample space for caterers to work with ease. Everything has been designed to provide both comfort and practicality.

The hall includes reverse-cycle air conditioning, LED strip lighting and dimmable lights to create the perfect atmosphere. In the cooler months, guests can gather around the fireplace for warmth and ambience.

Tables, chairs, crockery, glassware and cutlery are provided for up to 50 guests, with an additional dining room that comfortably accommodates a further 36.

Recent additions include AppleTV, a ceiling-mounted projector and drop-down screen, ideal for slideshows or digital presentations. A SONOS speaker system delivers high-quality sound, easily controlled from your phone or tablet.

A wide wooden deck leads to a beautifully restored gazebo, illuminated at night. The hall is set within expansive, lovingly maintained gardens, creating a picturesque setting for your ceremony.

When you hire Railway Barracks, you enjoy exclusive use of the entire property, including bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen, hall, dining room, deck and gardens.

Accommodation is available for up to 44 guests in a combination of bunk, twin and double rooms. Bed linen and towels are included.

Located approximately one hour from Canberra and two hours from Sydney, Railway Barracks sits in the rural Southern Tablelands of NSW, in Goulburn, a historic town known for its museums, festivals, restaurants and galleries.

Railway Barracks offers genuine character and distinctive features rarely found in rural wedding venues, while remaining one of the most affordable full-weekend options in the region.
