Pentridge Prison Precinct Tours - Australian Heritage Festival

Join one of our experienced guides on a two hour tour of the Pentridge Prison Precinct. Be sure to wear your walking shoes.

From the Traditional Owners of the Land to the current Community Precinct we see today, the tour will show many sides to Pentridge and how it has changed over time.

Inclusive of precinct areas not usually shown on our standard tours, this is a great opportunity to see some lesser-known sites and learn about the history that goes with them, finishing off with some exploration into H Division.

Warning: This tour includes depictions of challenging subject matter and is not recommended for those under 16 years.

Pre-bookings are highly recommended.

This event is being held as part of the 2024 Australian Heritage Festival. See more events being held in the Festival via the link https://www.nationaltrust.org.au/ahf/vic/
