Not your average club space
Multi-seasonal spaces put a contemporary twist on the casual club approach at The Sherwood. By Molly Nicholas. The Sherwood’s tavern-style layout
TAKING UP RESIDENCE in Southwest Sydney’s former Wests Tennis Club, The Sherwood opened its doors in November
welcoming members old and new to enjoy alfresco dining and live entertainment year-round.
As the newest addition to the Wests Group Macarthur portfolio,
The Sherwood is situated a short distance from the Western
Suburbs League Club on Leumeah Road and sits in the shadow of Campbelltown Stadium.
Under the helm of venue manager Julia Maulguet, The Sherwood
brings an immersive sport viewing and open-air dining experience to a pub style venue. Licensed for over 850 patrons, the venue centres
around a main bar at the heart of the venue servicing communal indoor and outdoor dining spaces with an 11sqm sports viewing screen. Daniel Perkiss, CEO of Wests Group Macarthur, shared his
excitement about the opening, which marks a new milestone direction for the group.
“Wests is incredibly proud of the brand and the venue, and
excited about the future. It is a dynamic new venue, with a great vibe and is set to deliver a solid offering of fantastic food, great
prices, entertainment, and promotions to keep visitors coming back for more.
“The Sherwood offers a great casual alternative for the non-
traditional clubgoer including the younger demographic, local trades
and professionals, and travelling social groups as well as sports-loving crowds who are more comfortable in a casual pub-style setting.”
Speaking about the choice to demolish the Tennis Club to make
way for the new venue, Perkiss explains that it was in need of a
refresh and capacity increase to be brought in line with the quality offering of the other Wests venues. With multimillion-dollar 38 / Club Management
