About this space

Courtyard, an Outdoor Space in The Three Sisters. A semi-private walled courtyard configured as an outdoor social area centred on flexible casual seating and event-ready infrastructure.

Design: The courtyard is paved and enclosed by traditional stone façades, arranged with long timber picnic tables, folding deck chairs and festoon lighting that form a compact urban outdoor room. The proportions create close sightlines and an intimate evening-lit setting.

Features: The courtyard provides fixed picnic benches and moveable deck chairs, a large outdoor projection screen used for sports and film showings, and a street-food van kiosk during service. The area has a step-free guest entrance, wheelchair-accessible circulation and accessible toilets, and installed power and lighting for evening events.

Ideal for: Informal social groups and sports-focused crowds seeking a relaxed, social standing reception or a casual seated gathering.

What guests say: The courtyard is lively in the evenings and provides plentiful outdoor seating. The space functions as a beer-garden-style area that suits group socialising.
