About The Barker Hangar

The historic Barker Hangar at the Santa monica Airport is known as one of Southern California's premier venues for charity, corporate and private events. The dramatic ceiling vaults to an impressive 43 feet at the center, providing an arched steel truss over a 150- by 234- foot polished cement floor. The 35,000 square foot hangar combined with a total of over 97,000 square feet of additional exterior space, make the Barker Hangar one of the largest and most versatile venues in Los Angeles.

The Barker Hangar is conveniently located two miles from the I-10 and I-45 freeways, and just minutes from cultural landmarks such as LAX Airport, the Pacific Coast Highway, the J. Paul Getty Museum, Bergamot Station and Santa Monica Museum of Art, the Santa Monica Pier, and 3rd Street Promenade.
