Rawson Room — questions answered

How many guests does the Rawson Room hold?
The Rawson Room holds up to 40 guests across 38 sqm. By layout: theatre 40; cabaret trestle 35; classroom 21; u-shape / boardroom 20 / 20. Use the room-fit tool on our Planning Tools page to check your numbers against every layout.
Where is the Rawson Room in the building, and is it accessible?
The Rawson Room is on Level 4 of the Sydney Masonic Centre at 66 Goulburn Street, Sydney CBD — a short walk from Central, Museum and Town Hall stations. All twelve SMC spaces are fully accessible.
What AV is built into the Rawson Room?
Built-in screen, projection and sound for an intimate boardroom setting. Everything is run by SMC's in-house audiovisual team with digital concierge support, and the Centre has dedicated internet up to 1 Gbps — so there's no third-party AV hire to arrange.
Can the Rawson Room be combined with other spaces?
Yes. SMC's twelve rooms are designed to run together — a plenary with breakout rooms, or the Rawson Room with the Marble Foyer for arrival drinks. Tell us your numbers and our team will suggest the right combination.
Is catering available in the Rawson Room?
Yes — all catering is cooked in the building by SMC's in-house chefs, from working lunches and conference breaks to plated gala dinners and canapé receptions. Menus are on our Catering page and can be tailored to your event.
