Birthday Party Venues in Fremantle

Choosing the Right Birthday Party Venue

Fremantle's birthday venues are all heritage buildings, but each runs a party differently. Kidogo Arthouse is an exclusive-hire gallery on Bathers Beach where you bring your own caterer and drinks. Level One @ The National Hotel and Sail and Anchor are pub settings with their own food and bar.

Three ways to host a Fremantle birthday:

Kidogo Arthouse hands over the Large Gallery, White Gallery, ocean deck, kitchen and courtyard, with up to 130 for cocktails in the Large Gallery.
At Kidogo you can self-cater or bring a caterer and supply your own alcohol, which its staff serve at an hourly rate.
Level One @ The National Hotel lets groups from 10 reserve a section of the floor, or hire the level for up to 260, with French doors to a wraparound veranda.
The rooftop bar at The National Hotel takes smaller birthdays of 10 to 60.
Sail and Anchor charges no room hire across its four areas, from a 20-guest balcony corner to the Freemasons Room for up to 100.

The Freemasons Room takes 70 to 100 for a cocktail party, with lounge seating and two pool tables on wheels.
Room 1854 is the private upstairs option, with its own bar and its own stretch of balcony for 40 to 60.
Food comes as hot and cold platters for about ten each, or a charcuterie grazing table in three sizes.
Food is paid in advance and the menu is locked in a week before the party.

Matching the party to the Fremantle venue

A do-it-yourself birthday with your own caterer and styling points to Kidogo Arthouse, which lends trestle tables, vintage furniture and rustic pieces free.
A seated birthday dinner for a large group suits the long tables of Level One @ The National Hotel.
A drinks-led party with a DJ suits Sail and Anchor, which lists itself as DJ friendly.
Events at Kidogo Arthouse finish by 10:30pm, so plan any late kick-on elsewhere.

Common Questions About Venues for Birthday Parties

Can I bring my own drinks to a birthday at Kidogo Arthouse?

Yes, but Kidogo staff must serve it, and they are charged by the hour.

Is there a room hire fee at Sail and Anchor?

No. None of its four areas carries a hire fee, as they are not fully closed off from the rest of the pub, so you pay for food and drinks.

The whole level takes up to 260, and sections can be reserved for groups from 10.

Are there guest rooms for staying on after a Fremantle birthday?

The National Hotel has 12 boutique rooms that guests can book.
