Mayhem: A Night of Dangerous Glamour and Wicked Indulgence

Overview

If Friday nights out have slipped into a monotonous routine (same bars, same drinks, same tipsy visit to Lord of the Fries), then Mayhem at the Justice and Police Museum may present a scintillating alternative. Sydney Living Museums are in cahoots with The Festivalists (the folks behind the much-loved Jurassic Lounge) to create this one-night-only opportunity to experience the underworld of Sydney's 1920s and '30s.

The exact details are suitably mysterious, but from what we can gather, you can expect a speakeasy-style environment, with entertainment including live music, illusionists and burlesque dancers. Activity-wise, you can polish up your card tricks, shoot your own silent film (yes please) and indulge in a spot of tattoo design, amongst other things. Oh and there's supper and cocktails, naturally, served up in the "sly-grog den".

Ticket price includes entry, the full activities list, entertainment, a meal and your first drink. Prizes will be awarded for most impressive costumes so feel free to unleash your inner gangster/moll to the fullest.
