About the function space

Bells Hotel is a classically beautiful corner pub which combines modern luxury and convenience, with old world charm and class.

Tucked down a bluestone laneway lies one of Bells' favourite event spaces, The Topiary. A former warehouse stunningly converted into a function room, Topiary is adorned with hanging plants suspended from soaring ceilings and exposed beams, with pots sprouting greenery against rustic brick walls. The room provides a stylish backdrop for those ultra-glam party selfies.

Entered privately via the laneway, The Topiary can offer everything from full audio-visual facilities for a presentation, to a DJ to get your guests swaying under the chandelier.
