This Enlighten, step back in time to the 1980s! Come join us at ‘The People’s House’ for a fun-for-all-ages evening of music, adventure, dress ups and dance aerobics as we celebrate some of the unsung heroes of Old Parliament House.

Watch retro-inspired pop art by artist Nordacious (AKA James Hillier) light up the building and then step inside to the ‘80s time warp.

Dig out your best ‘80s garb (you might win a prize!) and go on an adventure through the building – you can test your knowledge, play dress-ups, take home one of our popular badges (if you’re up for the challenge!) and show your skill with vintage tech and toys.

Get physical with freestyle aerobics from 8pm each night, join the karaoke room or groove to the tunes of Olivia, Kylie and Madonna.

For four nights only – 1-2 & 8-9 March.
