The Seed

The Seed is entirely versatile in its setup and boasts access to a large private balcony overlooking Sydney’s iconic Harbour Bridge, making it the ideal location to entertain.

The Neilson Nutshell and The Seed are adjoining spaces and can be hired separately for simple events or together for more complex events such as a dinner requiring a nearby kitchen, or a conference with a requirement for breakout spaces. Both venues can include access to two dressing rooms as well as the theatre foyer bar and cloak room.
