LATES! The Beach Ball

Dive into LATES! - a city beach party with live acts, mermaid tours, cocktails, art and seaside bites inside the museum’s summer escape

Experience the museum (and the beach) at night with our first ever dedicated LATES! event.

LATES! transforms the museum into an after-hours summer escape, bringing the mood of a beachside night to Pyrmont. Explore exhibitions at your own pace, catch live performances along the boardwalk, and join mermaid-led mini tours that reimagine the museum after dark. The Lighthouse Gallery becomes the Copacabana Club for one night only, with a dynamic lineup of music, movement, and beach-inspired storytelling.

Expect summery cocktails, relaxed beach games, in-gallery artmaking, film screenings, drawing sessions, and a giant foam sandcastle build. The Ripples Fish & Chippery will be serving up all the beach classics - fish and chips, potato scallops, burgers with the lot, and retro ice-cream favourites.

Put on your surf wear, coconut bras, bucket hats and meet us on the sand at our city beach.

Full lineup announced soon!
