The Longest Nightmare of the Year

Overview

A nautical house of horrors will descend on Potts Point this winter when Kings Cross Hotel is transformed into a hellish, immersive nightmare.

Run in partnership with The Kraken black spiced rum, The Longest Nightmare of the Year will take over the venue's underground Dive Bar on Friday, June 21 for a terrifying 'celebration' of the winter solstice — aka the longest and darkest night of the year.

This interactive experience will see zombie sailors, beds of terror and mythical sea monsters descend upon Kings Cross, all set to bring your nightmares to life. To get you through the many scares that await, there'll be liquid courage in the form of four rum cocktails on offer. Those include the Spiced Night Fog (boozy eggnog with orange marmalade, nutmeg and cream); The Kraken Nightmare (rum, Caribbean syrup, and Creole bitters) and the Sea Beast Terror (Campari, pineapple and lime juices with agave)

There will also be a black grazing table to pick at and a gift to take home.

Tickets will cost you $25 all up — which includes a selection of the aforementioned cocktails and grazing table — and are limited, so don't wait on it.
