About this Event

After Dark: Watch House Unlocked 

Unlock Melbourne’s criminal past with an after-dark tour of the Former City Watch House. From 1909 to 1994, this was the holding place for those arrested in Melbourne, awaiting trial.  

Join a National Trust Guide as you explore the Charge Room, padded cell, and exercise yards, learning about the crimes and stories of those once locked up. Walk through cells left untouched since the 1990s, see prisoner graffiti, and take your own mugshot! 

As part of the tour, visit the Bending the Bars exhibition, marking 40 years since the decriminalisation of homosexuality in Victoria, and reflecting on the evolution of justice.
