Step into the deep shadows during Dark Mofo for a powerful, atmospheric experience like no other. They're opening the historic Ladies Cottage Asylum at Willow Court, New Norfolk, for an exclusive lantern-lit dark tour. Move through the corridors by flickering lantern light and feel the weight of its layered history — a rare opportunity to walk these spaces in a way never offered before. Pass the original heavy doors with their looking holes — once used by residents to peer out and nurses to watch in — stark reminders of the building's institutional past. Begin with a welcome drink and seasonal nibbles inside the Cottage. Then, guided by the expert storyteller, cross the grounds of Willow Court to the original Morgue for a raw and deeply respectful encounter with the site's past. The journey continues to the former Willow Court Industrial Therapy Building, now home to the award-winning New Norfolk Distillery. Enjoy a special twilight tour of the distillery followed by a full tasting of their exceptional, award-winning rums — bold, dark and unforgettable. And of course…the bar can stay open for you to stay longer. An immersive evening that blends history, intensity, and Tasmania's finest spirits. Very limited places and one night only.
