The Salon is a mid-sized venue with warm lighting, fireplaces, and original decorative stencilling and timberwork. Ideal for meetings and workshops, the Salon looks out onto the Convent Courtyard and into Mural Hall.
The Salon’s decorative frieze was hand-painted by the father of Sister Monica, reflecting the history of the Convent building. This room held a lot of significance for the Sisters because it was where they were allowed to receive visitors. Traditionally, the two large doors that open onto the courtyard were only for nuns and novices of the Good Shepherd Order. Guests would have entered through the front door of the Convent building.
The space is WIFI-enabled and features a projector screen. Additional facilities including tables, chairs, whiteboards, heaters and fans are available to hirers. Basic AV equipment is available to hirers.
