Clifton Woolshed

Locksley, near Bathurst | Weddings, Celebrations & Corporate Gatherings in the Heart of the Backroads

There are places that hold stories in their timbers. Places where the land remembers, and where new memories are quietly waiting to be made. Clifton Woolshed is one of those places.

Set among rolling hills and open paddocks just outside Bathurst, Clifton Woolshed is a lovingly restored working landmark reimagined as a relaxed, authentic country venue for weddings, special occasions and corporate gatherings. Here, beside a gently flowing creek on Tarana Road, history and celebration meet—wrapped in wide skies, soft light and the unmistakable calm of the backroads.

This is not a polished production-line venue. This is real country. Honest. Warm. Unrushed.

A Woolshed with a Soul

When Jamie and Bronwyn first stood inside the old shearing shed, they didn’t just see weathered timber and timeworn walls—they felt its soul. They saw a place that had worked hard, quietly served generations, and was ready for a new kind of gathering.

What followed was an 18-month labour of love. Long days. Problem-solving on the fly. Decisions guided not by trends, but by respect—for the shed, the land, and what it once was. While the bones were carefully restored, Bronwyn shaped the interiors, gardens and surrounds with the same intention: keep the character, soften the edges, and let the place breathe.

Today, the shed stands ready to host love stories of its own—alongside milestone celebrations, creative retreats and meaningful corporate moments.

Gatherings, the Way They Should Feel

Clifton Woolshed offers exclusive access to the entire property—no shared spaces, no rush between bookings, no prescribed format. Just time, space and freedom to shape your event in a way that feels genuinely personal.

Weddings unfold beside the creek, under open skies or beneath old country trees. Long tables fill with laughter, warm light and stories that stretch late into the night. Corporate groups escape the boardroom for strategy sessions grounded in nature, while birthdays, anniversaries and private celebrations take on a relaxed country rhythm.

Every gathering here is intentional. Flexible. Unscripted.
And deeply connected to place.

Grounded in the Bathurst Backroads

Clifton Woolshed is part of the living story of the Bathurst & Backroads—the quiet roads that lead to unexpected beauty, generational history and communities that still wave as you pass by. This landscape gives every event a sense of belonging that simply can’t be replicated elsewhere.

“We don’t just host events,” the team shares. “We share our patch of country. The land, the light, the stillness, the feeling of being completely present.”

It’s this connection to place that guests feel the moment they arrive—and carry with them long after they leave.

A Vision of Lasting Beauty

For Jamie and Bronwyn, success isn’t measured only in numbers. It’s found in moments: couples stealing quiet time by the creek, teams finding clarity under wide skies, families gathering beneath fairy lights, and the shed once again filled with music and stories.

Looking ahead, their vision is simple and steadfast—to keep Clifton Woolshed beautiful, sustainable and deeply personal. A place that evolves gently, without ever losing what makes it feel real.
