Steeped in history, Fort Scratchley is situated at the eastern end of Newcastle on the site where convicts created Australia’s first coal mine in 1801.

The Fort Scratchley Function Centre offers a contemporary, light filled space with views over the Newcastle Ocean Baths and Cowrie Hole. Also featuring a timber deck, ideal as an alfresco option and for soaking up the ocean air.
