Step into a powerful, atmospheric evening. They're opening the historic Ladies Cottage Asylum at Willow Court, New Norfolk, for an exclusive candle-lit tour. Begin with a welcome drink and nibbles inside the Cottage, then move through the corridors by flickering candlelight and feel the weight of its layered history — a rare opportunity to walk these spaces in warm flickering light. 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. Guided by an expert storyteller, continue 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 will stay open for you to stay longer. An immersive evening that blends history, intensity, and Tasmania's finest spirits. Every guest receives a complimentary voucher for an award-winning boutique beer at Welcome Swallow, which is itself located in one of the original Willow Court buildings. They also have a food truck on site if you'd like something to eat while you enjoy your drink. A respectful, atmospheric, and unforgettable journey into Tasmania's past.
