Where every gathering becomes a memory
We take care of the details, so you can be present for the moments that actually matter
A Setting That Does Half the Work
Sitting on the banks of the Kanamaluka (Tamar River), just minutes from the Launceston CBD, Tailrace is more than a venue, it’s a place people remember. Mountains in the background. Water at your edge. Five distinctive spaces to choose from.
From 30 guests to over 400, we’ll find the right fit.
Awards + Presentations
Your people have worked hard for this. Give the moment a room that matches it. Great staging, great food, and a Tamar River setting that makes the night memorable.
Expos + Trade Show
High ceilings, generous floor space, and a layout built for movement and conversation. Bring your exhibitors, we'll handle the rest.
Gala Dinners
A stunning room, Tasmanian food that starts conversations, and a team that takes care of every detail. This is what a gala should feel like.
Large conferences
Space for up to 400, flexible room configurations, and a team that keeps things running. Bring your agenda, we've got the rest covered.
Fundraisers
A great time, for a good reason, twice over. Every booking at Tailrace directly supports community work already changing lives in Launceston.
Birthday parties + life celebrations
Some milestones deserve more than a backyard. Bring the people, we'll bring the space, the food, and the drinks.
COCKTAIL PARTIES
Good drinks, good food, and a space that's effortlessly social. You just show up and enjoy your guests.
ENGAGEMENT PARTIES
Celebrate the yes with the people who matter most, riverside, well-fed, and right where you're supposed to be.
BIG WEDDINGS
Up to 650 guests, five distinctive spaces, a chapel, and a garden lawn by the river.

CATERING
Best of the tamar
