Winter Igloos

Escape the winter chill inside a cosy igloo filled with cheese and hot cocktails by the harbour.

Overview

If you have lived in Sydney for frankly any time at all, you should be familiar with King Street Wharf mainstay Cargo. It's the place that you inevitably end up when, already a few drinks down, someone in the group (occasionally you) suggests finding a dance floor to tear up. But this winter, the venue is keeping things cosy, filling its waterfront space with lit-up igloos.

To match the Vivid madness currently happening around Darling Harbour, the transparent igloos will be glowing with fairy lights, and decked out with cushions and blankets so you can people watch (just minus the winter chill).

Each igloo houses up to eight people, and for a very reasonable $25 per person, you'll get a grazing plate for everyone to share and a warm cocktail each. When you're done with that, you can order more snacks — like vegan tacos, fried chicken and loaded waffle fries — straight to your igloo. Keep your insides (and your hands) warm throughout the night with hot mugs full of pumpkin hot toddy, buttered rum and dirty chai martinis.

Availability is limited, though, so we recommend rounding up the crew and booking in a session pronto — especially while Vivid is on. Even if you miss the lights, the igloos will be hanging around until the end of August.
