Hyde Park Barracks After Dark

Overview

The sun slipping away earlier in the cooler months isn't a bad thing — it just means there's more time for fun to be had after dark. This is something our pals at Sydney Living Museums know all too well, thanks to its monthly art and music series.

Since February, the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Hyde Park Barracks has presented its new 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.

And at this month's event on Thursday, June 24, you can get cosy around the fire pit with marshmallows courtesy of the Country Women's Association. Then, let Muruwari Man Willy Stevens give you a First Nations perspective on astronomy or join a yarning circle with D'harawal Saltwater Knowledge Keeper Shannon Foster. There'll be installations by artist Ella Condon to enjoy and live music from Sparrow, Lady King and FBi Radio DJs, too.

The next Hyde Park Barracks After Dark event is happening on Thursday, June 24 from 5–9pm. Each month boasts a new lineup to enjoy. To stay up to date, visit the website.
