Choosing the Right School Formal Venue

For school formals across the northern suburbs, Nixon's Function Centre in Gawler is the venue listed. Its upstairs Function Room seats 190, and a second room downstairs suits a smaller year level.

Formal planning points for northern schools:

Upstairs seating for 190, or 230 if the night is mostly standing.
The Trackside Function Room downstairs for 80 seated or 116 standing.
Room for a DJ or band, and a dance floor available as an add-on.
Screens for slides or videos, with AV included alongside the menu.
A $60 per person buffet, or set menus and platters.

A cohort near 190 fills the upstairs room for a seated dinner.
Smaller schools can look at Trackside, whose double doors open to the track and oval.
Both rooms sit in one building, so ask whether arrival photos could use the downstairs space.
The board room seats eight, handy for a committee meeting with the venue.
