The Paddington Society has been working to preserve Paddington’s heritage and amenity for 60 years. To celebrate this considerable achievement, join us for Evening Drinks and Canapes from 6pm to 8pm on Wednesday, 6th November 2024, at Victoria Barracks.

Enjoy food and drinks and soak up the unique, historical surroundings of Victoria Barracks. The regency-style Barracks is one of the best examples of military architecture. It was designed by Lieutenant-Colonel George Barney, who also built Fort Denison. The barracks is a significant heritage site and home to the Headquarters of Forces Command.

The pedestrian entrance is from Oxford Street (open from 5:30pm), and parking is available in the Northern Carpark via the vehicle entrance on Moore Park Road.

Tickets: $60 Members; $70 Non-Members
