Fort Scratchley Function Centre is a contemporary, light filled space with views over the Newcastle Ocean Baths and Cowrie Hole. It boasts a timber deck, ideal as an alfresco option and for soaking up the ocean air, high ceilings and uninterrupted vision so that the bridal table can be seen from all corners of the room. With the ceremony out of the way, now it’s time to let your hair down and have some fun!
