Bucks Party Venues Parramatta

A bucks party in Parramatta suits a crew spread across Western Sydney who would rather not all head into the city. The centre is easy to reach and, more importantly, easy to leave: Parramatta station and the Parramatta Light Rail serve the centre and ferries run to Parramatta wharf, so nobody needs to drive after a few drinks. For anyone who does bring a car earlier in the day, there are plenty of paid car parks. The listed venue is a pub space that works well for groups.

What to know about the venue:

• Getting there: the Woolpack Hotel is on George Street in central Parramatta, with the train, light rail and ferry all serving the centre and paid car parks for drivers.
• Venue style: Outdoor Area @ Woolpack Hotel is an open-air pub space with umbrellas and screens, so the group can catch a game and stay together in one area.
• Capacity: the area takes up to 112 guests, well beyond most bucks groups, so there is room to add friends and family without needing a bigger venue.
• Booking lead time: Saturday afternoons are popular with groups, so book a few weeks ahead, and earlier if the date clashes with a big game.
• Food and drinks: packages start from $25 per person, which keeps a long afternoon affordable for everyone in the group.

A reserved outdoor area works well as the base for the day, whether the plan is a long lunch and drinks or a meeting point before dinner elsewhere. Sort out numbers and a food and drinks package in advance so the best man isn't collecting money on the day, and ask the venue about the screens if there is a match the group wants to watch. Keep it relaxed and practical, and make sure everyone knows how they are getting home.
