After Dark at the Hyde Park Barracks is back for April, transforming the UNESCO World Heritage-listed site with live music, demonstrations, workshops and tours.

The Barracks has a long history of skilled convict artisans passing through its gates, and for After Dark on 28 April you'll meet the people who are embracing traditional crafts but presenting them in contemporary ways.

Enjoy fascinating demonstrations of glassblowing by glass artist Mark Eliott, blacksmithing by Eveleigh Works, and live tattooing by W T Norbert and C P Martin from Tattoo Rosies, as well as banjo making and intimate performances in the hammock room with musician Joe Glover.

Join perfumer and scentsmith Ainslie Walker for an olfactory experience of what life might have been like at the Barracks, learn Indigenous weaving techniques led by Ngiyampaa and Guringai artist and curator Tarni Eastwood and explore artisan-related objects from the Hyde Park Barracks collection on a tour with Sydney Living Museums curators.

Independent broadcaster FBi Radio have programmed another unforgettable musical line-up with dream-pop duo Royel Otis, two-piece outfit Bridge Dog and FBi radio DJ's.

Warm up around the fire pits and enjoy delicious food and drinks from Nighthawk Diner and Archie Rose that will be available throughout the evening.
