Venue Bookings

Origins Centre is a world-class venue conveniently located off the M1 in Braamfontein, Johannesburg, within the secure surrounds of the University of the Witwatersrand.

Origins Centre offers the discerning client a choice of nine different venues, each catering for a different-sized function, from an intimate workshop to a plush cocktail evening.

Each of the venues has a unique atmosphere, from the high-vaulted Tapestry Room, with its exquisitely handcrafted hanging panels, to the Gallery, where a changing temporary exhibition schedule ensures that no two functions ever look the same.
