Darlinghurst Courthouse

    Darlinghurst Courthouse was constructed in 1835-1845 in response to overcrowding issues at King Street Courts.  It was the first purpose-built criminal court in the colony and has been used ever since as a courthouse. The District Court took up residence in the early 1900s, and a new wing to the courthouse was added. In the 1920s, the newly founded High Court moved in, and additional courts were built. Today, Darlinghurst Courts constitute seven courtrooms and hears Supreme Court and District Court matters.

    Access to the Courthouse is limited for those with mobility issues  due to it being a historical budiling. Entry is via Oxford Street and a ramp will be deployed to provide access to the venue and an accessible bathroom with be available on-site during the Sydney Festival.

    Additional accessible toilets can be found under 1kms away at Wallamulla Park, Australian Museum & Kippax Anzac Parade. 

     Visitors requiring the temporary ramp, wheelchair seating or other access support should contact Sydney Festival before attending, as accessible services and designated wheelchair spaces need to be arranged in advance. The Festival accepts Companion Cards and welcomes assistance animals with prior booking. Visitors should also allow additional arrival time, as entry to the courthouse may involve baggage screening and metal-detector checks.
