Hyde Park Barracks After Dark 2022

Overview

It's time to make the most of the late sunset and the warm nights by packing your week with midweek activities. One big way to have some late-night fun is with after-hours art. This is something our pals at Sydney Living Museums know all too well, thanks to its monthly art and music series.

Running through February and beyond, the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Hyde Park Barracks is presenting its late-night program After Dark. Once a month, from 5–9pm, you can enjoy drinks at the pop-up bar while checking out the live tunes, performances and more.

At this month's event on Thursday, February 24, you can get cosy in a hammock and listen to stories read by queer writers Tanya Vavilova, Will Kostakis and Erin Gough; take a sonic tour of the Barracks with DJ Sveta, participate in body-positive life-drawing from the Gladdy Drawing Club; or see live music curated by FBi Radio including Kavi, DJ Isa, and local electronic legends Jonny Seymour and Paul Mac.

There will also be food and drink on offer with stalls from OzHarvest, Nighthawk Diner and Archie Rose all running through the evening.
