The Coach House

Semaphore, the proud home of the historic Glanville Hall, holds a hidden treasure waiting to be discovered. Behind this grand manor lies The Coach House – a 160-year-old stone stable that’s been transformed into Adelaide’s only urban barn venue, brimming with rustic charm and elegance.

Originally designed to shelter the manor’s fleet of horse-drawn coaches, The Coach House now offers a unique space for rustic celebrations. Its beautiful pointed stonework, rough-hewn walls, and signature arched timber doorways create an atmosphere rich in character and old-world allure. With quirky décor like softly draped ceilings and up-cycled pendant chandeliers made from the barn’s original mezzanine ladders, this venue is a vintage-lover’s dream come true!

The Coach House opens directly into a cobbled courtyard, where a towering century-old Moreton Bay fig tree provides shade and a stunning backdrop for wedding ceremonies, cocktail parties, or cozy gatherings around a crackling fire pit. If you’re looking for alternatives, ceremonies can also be held on Glanville Hall’s picturesque Elm Lawns or even inside The Coach House itself, depending on guest numbers.

As a fully-inclusive venue, The Coach House has your catering and beverage needs covered. Whether you envision a grazing-table style wedding dinner, a vintage high tea, or a fireside pizza party, the venue offers endless possibilities to tailor your celebration to your style.

With options for semi-seated pizza and street food receptions for up to 150 guests, or a more intimate seated brunch, lunch, high tea, or dinner for up to 42 guests, The Coach House can accommodate a wide range of events.

With its distinctive rustic charm and a versatile hospitality team, The Coach House is a venue that can bring any celebration to life.
