The Night Watch Tour

As night falls and shadows creep across the bluestone walls, step inside the walls of Pentridge Prison for an after-dark experience like no other. The Night Watch Tour takes you on a journey through the eerie past of Melbourne’s most infamous prison, guided by a Warder on their nightly rounds.

Over 90 spine-tingling minutes, you’ll wander through dimly lit cell blocks and open yards, hearing stories of punishments and escapes and the unexplained moments that still linger in the prison’s history. From the notorious H Division to the chilling rock-breaking yards, every step feels like walking in the footsteps of the past.

By the glow of the Warder’s torch, you’ll uncover tales of prisoners and warders alike—some grim, some surprising, and all utterly fascinating. This is your chance to see a side of Pentridge few have dared to explore.

Whether you’re a history buff, a thrill-seeker, or just looking for a night out that’s a little… darker, The Night Watch Tour is an unforgettable adventure.

Highlights include:

• After-dark tour around the former HM Pentridge Prison with a National Trust Guide

• Torchlight exploration of iconic areas like H Division and the rock-breaking yards.

• Chilling stories that bring the prison’s past to life.
