Brisbane’s outdoor spaces are in high demand, thanks to the city’s warm climate and abundance of scenic locations. The best time to book an outdoor venue depends on your event type, but generally, autumn (March to May) and spring (September to November) offer the most pleasant weather—warm days, cool evenings, and less chance of rain. Summer (December to February) can be hot and humid, so if you're planning an event during these months, consider an evening function or a venue with plenty of shade and airflow. Winter (June to August) is mild, making it a great option for daytime events, but evenings can get chilly, so outdoor heating might be necessary.
The earlier, the better! Popular spaces get booked months in advance, especially for peak seasons and weekends. If you’re planning a corporate event or a wedding, aim for at least 3-6 months ahead. For smaller gatherings, 4-6 weeks should give you enough time. Use Tagvenue to check availability and secure your spot before it’s gone.
Your Guide to Hiring Outdoor Venues in Brisbane
During the prime weather season in Brisbane, usually between March to May, you might want to consider holding your event in one of the city’s many outdoor venues. An outdoor space might seem like a lot of work, but you might be surprised by how easy it can be. Whether you hire an outdoor private garden, or self-cater at one of the city’s many amazing parks, you are sure to have a great time, and a truly memorable event.
Many restaurants and pubs in the city will offer open terraces, rooftops or private gardens that can be hired for functions. These alfresco spaces are a good option if you are looking to reduce stress, as they could include event packages to suit your needs. For a traditional outdoor spot, check out the offers in Fortitude Valley, South Brisbane or Spring Hill.
Outdoor facilities abound in Brisbane and many can be hired for private events, Southbank Parklands in South Brisbane is one of the city’s outdoor gems, with 17 hectares of rainforest, beautiful lawns and riverfront promenade, among many other attractions.
Moving away from the river and heading towards the Northside, you can also find the Roma Street Parkland, a centrally located park with an amphitheater, lush gardens and waterways. To the southeast and with a view of the river, there is also New Farm Park, a park filled with Edwardian style elegance. On Gardens Point in the CBD you can also find the City Botanic Gardens.
All of these lush spaces have designated sites for formal events, including event packages, as well as more casual locations for get-togethers. These venues offer you the chance to self-cater, or bring in outside help. You won’t regret hosting an event in any of these outdoor venues.
Consider hunting one down that overlooks the beautiful Brisbane River, your photos will be magnificent!
