Hamilton’s award-winning venues and world-renowned destination form momentous offering
H3 Group and Hamilton Gardens are proud to announce their new way of working. Their respective teams will now combine their business development, event operations, delivery skills, and extensive knowledge to provide clients with a seamless event experience and further enhanced offerings.
As part of the new Visitor Entry Precinct, The Pavilion at Hamilton Gardens has completed its newly renovated and upgraded event spaces.

With access to Hamilton Gardens’ world-renowned themed gardens and surrounding well-manicured, lush outdoor spaces, the options for hosting events are limitless.

We are equally excited to combine forces with the H3 team, learn from one another, and work alongside each other.”
Clients will be pleased to learn this merger unlocks a plethora of facilities and services available to them and their events. This merger enables event organisers to stretch their imagination, tap into extremely unique spaces, and the highest quality of delivery, all managed through a single dedicated team with the same key contacts.
Melissa Williams, H3 Group Business Development and Sales Manager, shares, “We are thrilled to bring together the very best of both venues, extend our impressive portfolio of reputable venues here in central Hamilton, and combine our experienced and passionate teams to provide unrivalled service to our clients.”
