Royal Saxon is Richmond's home of live sport. With multiple screens throughout the venue, including a 3m mega screen in the Courtyard, there's never a bad seat in the house when the big games are on. We're especially passionate about AFL, and whether it's a Friday night blockbuster or an ANZAC Day clash, there's no better place in Richmond to watch the footy with a cold drink in hand and a parma on the way.
Got a group coming in for the game? Walk-ins are welcome across the venue, or book a space to watch together. And for groups who have booked an exclusive function space, we can adjust the volume so your event isn't competing with the commentary, giving you the best of both worlds.
Heading to the game at the G? Join us before or after, we're just a short 15-minute walk away.
