Book a public event at the Geelong Botanic Gardens

Our beautiful and peaceful gardens are the perfect venue for small, low-impact public events. 

You must apply for a permit to hold your event at the Geelong Botanic Gardens. Events Geelong administers this process. 

When deciding whether to support an application we will favour events that are:

  • suitable in a natural setting and can be held outside
  • leave no imprint on our high-quality landscape and important plant collections
  • can be held while other visitors enjoy the peacefulness of the gardens.

When the event is ticketed the booking fee is $400 for 5 hours usage.
