Adelaide experiences a mildly wet winter and hot-dry summer. Some outdoor venues either offer provisions or can accommodate heating/cooling for events organised during these times. However, it is recommended that you confirm this with the venues before making a booking.

Event venues, in and around Adelaide, are located on mixed terrains. There are steep hills in the southeast, which begin to plateau towards the coast. Therefore, it may be difficult or at least cost-intensive to organise weatherproofing at some of the event venues in Adelaide.

Accessibility to the event venue may also be impacted based on the location and terrain. Therefore, it is further recommended that you confirm with the management beforehand if the accessibility needs of your vendors and guests can be accommodated to avoid any hassles on the day of your event.

While Adelaide is home to many amazing venues for outdoor events, we recommend you make the booking as much before the event as possible. Due to high demands and seasonality, venues tend to get booked out months in advance. Therefore, to ensure that you are able to book the venue of your choice – we recommend you make the reservation at least 6 to 9 months in advance.
