Step inside and experience something you won’t find anywhere else.

For one day only, the historic Geelong Gaol opens its doors to a carefully curated gathering of artists, makers, and practitioners.

The Dark Arts Expo is not a traditional market. It is an experience shaped by place—where contemporary creativity meets the presence of history within one of Victoria’s most atmospheric heritage sites.

As you move through the Gaol, each space reveals something different. The environment itself becomes part of the experience, offering a setting that cannot be replicated elsewhere.

Wander through atmospheric cell blocks filled with market stalls offering macabre art, gothic jewellery and curious, handcrafted pieces. Meet paranormal investigators and uncover chilling stories said to linger within the gaol’s walls.

Dare to sit for a tarot reading, where the cards may reveal more than you expect.

This immersive, one-day experience blends history, mystery and creativity — a journey into the dark you won’t forget.
