Launching a new style of event with historical storytelling, music and performance in a hidden heritage courtyard bar (Since I Left You) at 338 Kent Street serving freshly shaken cocktails, local wines, craft beers and bar food.
Throughout 2021, on the third Tuesday of the month, join us to hear historical tales associated with the Kent Street storehouses and the Western Corridor of the CBD including the underbelly and alternative histories. Hear from architectural scholars, raconteurs and, during the winter months, see lost photographs from Sydney’s busiest trading spot in the 1880s projected onto the material fabric of the buildings.
Historical gastronomy will be featured on the menu along with musical interludes inspired by the era and the courtyard ambience.
NB: The History High Tales is held in an outdoor venue. Please come prepared with suitable warm and waterproof clothing if the forecast predicts unfavourable conditions as this is an all-weather experience.

Join Amanda Reynolds to hear about powerful Lore Woman Barangaroo - a Cammeraygal woman who lived during the time of the British invasion of Sydney - and take a journey with Anna Clark as she reveals the histories of the Eora women who walked the shoreline under Mrs Macquarie's Chair in 1788.
Music comes from Australia's foremost indigenous blues performer Marlene Cummins who will perform songs that pay homage to Indigenous blues singers of the 20th century and Aboriginal women leaders.
