Strathnairn Arts has a range of spaces that would be suitable for activities and events, with capacity ranging from 10 people to 100 people.

Set in a converted 1920s homestead on the north-western outskirts of Canberra, Strathnairn’s 9.5 hectares is host to a Woolshed and Village Hall, all with views towards the Brindabella Mountains. Strathnairn offers artists access to ceramic kilns, the foundry, studios, and the shop.

Located within the Homestead is the shop, which displays and sells a range of handmade works by local artists.
