Get ready for the ultimate island adventure! On Sunday 4 May, Cockatoo Island will come alive as we celebrate the Australian Heritage Festival 2025 and offer a range of free and paid activities to excite families!
To coincide with theme of this year’s festival, Unearthed, the Harbour Trust are running a range of talks that peel back the layers of history at Cockatoo Island. These include a special talk by the heritage architect who, in 2009, uncovered the island’s convict era Solitary Confinement Cells. Throughout Open Day, you’ll also have a chance to enjoy live music, a historic dance lesson, delicious food, heritage steam crane demonstrations, paid boat rides and more!
PLUS: The island’s holiday houses and apartments, constructed between 1915 and 1916, will be open to the public at select times. Discover their authentic heritage charm and gain access to an EXCLUSIVE discount for your next stay!
