Description
The Old Vic Hotel is a historic country hotel in the heart of Canowindra, offering couples a warm, character-filled setting for relaxed regional weddings, intimate celebrations and group getaways.
Established in 1865, The Old Vic has the charm of an old country pub with the comfort of newly refreshed accommodation and welcoming shared spaces. The building has beautiful old bones, open fireplaces, generous lounge areas, a guest bar, a garden courtyard, off-street parking and a central main street location within easy walking distance of local cafés, pubs, shops and museums.
We are especially well suited to couples looking for a wedding that feels personal, relaxed and a little different from a traditional function centre. The Old Vic works beautifully for intimate weddings, micro-weddings, wedding weekends, elopement-style celebrations, recovery brunches, welcome drinks, family gatherings and accommodation for wedding guests.
Couples can make use of a range of spaces across the hotel, including our guest lounges, dining room, bar, upstairs ballroom-style space, garden areas and shared guest facilities. Depending on the style and size of the celebration, these spaces can be used for welcome drinks, private dinners, casual receptions, getting ready, photos, guest accommodation, pre-wedding gatherings and post-wedding breakfasts.
One of the biggest advantages of The Old Vic is the ability to bring your guests together under one roof. We offer group accommodation across our guest rooms, making it ideal for couples who want their closest family and friends to stay together for the weekend. The hotel is particularly suited to couples who want more than just a few hours in a venue — it can become a relaxed home base for the whole celebration.
The Old Vic is also a great option for couples getting married nearby who need guest accommodation, a rehearsal dinner venue, a welcome drinks location, a recovery brunch space or somewhere for family and bridal party members to stay together.
Our style is country, historic, comfortable and informal. Think heritage hotel character, open fires, relaxed lounges, shared meals, drinks in the bar, country-town charm and a slower weekend away with your favourite people.
We are currently continuing to restore and improve the property under new management, so couples who choose The Old Vic are choosing a venue with history, personality and a sense of place. Some parts of the building are still being carefully refreshed, but our aim is to offer warm hospitality, comfortable rooms and flexible spaces for couples who value atmosphere, character and genuine regional charm.
The Old Vic is best suited to couples who want a relaxed, intimate and flexible wedding experience rather than a highly formal or traditional ballroom-style event. We can work with couples on accommodation, group stays, drinks, simple food options, local supplier recommendations and weekend-style celebrations.
Located in Canowindra in Central West NSW, The Old Vic offers an easygoing country setting for couples wanting to celebrate with family and friends in a historic regional hotel with plenty of soul.
