The Barn at Rosny Farm

Image by Rebecca Ramage

The Barn at Rosny Farm is a multi-purpose, small capacity arts venue situated in the cultural hub of the City of Clarence on Hobart’s Eastern Shore.

The venue is contained within the walls of a c1818 stone barn which has been tastefully refurbished to retain its colonial aspect whilst catering to a broad range of arts based activities. Situated within the picturesque grounds of the Rosny Farm Arts Centre, which is also home to the Schoolhouse Gallery and Rosny Cottage, it has been described as, “The best acoustic venue in the Southern Hemisphere.” – Stefan Grossman.

To hire the Barn for your music or performing arts event, please fill in this enquiry form, and we will give you a call.

Please note: the Barn has limited availability due to a busy schedule of events and exhibitions.
