Hangman's Night Tour

  • Tour
  • Entertainment

Let the Hangman guide you through every corner of Old Melbourne Gaol and its disturbing history, with no stone left unturned. What dark and grisly stories will the Hangman uncover?

As daylight fades, the gaol becomes dark and atmospheric. The Hangman’s Night Tour delves into the macabre accounts and haunted history associated with the Gaol.

Due to the sometimes graphic nature of the tales, this immersive tour is not recommended for children under 16 years of age.

This night tour is conducted in the dark and includes confined spaces, and appropriate footwear is recommended.
