Your Premier Event Venue in Kalamunda
Established in 1952, our club was founded by 173 community members who recognized the need for a local gathering space. We began operations in a weatherboard cottage within Stirk Park, renovated entirely by volunteer effort, and obtained our liquor license in 1954. Over decades, we've maintained our role as a community hub while modernising facilities to accommodate up to 270 guests. Our venue combines historical significance with contemporary amenities, offering a commercial kitchen, licensed bar, and versatile event spaces. We specialise in creating memorable experiences through unique offerings like lawn bowls integration with functions. Our dedicated team of experienced professionals ensures every event meets the highest standards.With strategic location next to Stirk Park - Kalamunda's oldest heritage site - we provide both indoor and outdoor celebration options. Our social bowls programs continue the tradition of community engagement that began with our founding members. Through generations, we've maintained commitment to quality service while preserving the friendly, inclusive atmosphere of our early days. Our facilities cater to diverse occasions from casual gatherings to formal events, supported by comprehensive catering services. As a not-for-profit organisation, we reinvest in community development while maintaining operational excellence.
