Thousands of people have walked along Hunter Street without knowing what remains behind the doors of Newcastle’s Old Police Lock Up.
This November, you’re invited inside for a two-hour paranormal investigation in the spaces where prisoners were held between 1861 and 1982.
Inside the original cells, low ceilings, narrow ventilation openings and graffiti etched into the walls offer a glimpse of what confinement meant here.
As we explore these spaces together, we’ll share the building’s history and give you time to sit quietly, listen and investigate. What will you notice when the bustle of Hunter Street gives way to the stillness of a holding cell?
This is an opportunity to experience a surviving piece of Newcastle’s colonial history while joining us in our commitment to its future.
These walls hold real stories of early Newcastle, and preserving the Old Police Lock Up helps ensure future generations can encounter those stories where they happened.
Make this a night spent investigating Newcastle’s past.
