At sunset gather in our Reflection Garden and find a warm place by the campfire to settle in with a glass of Yarra Valley pinot in hand. We introduce Melbourne's eclectic and creative north telling the story of local icons, the boutique and extraordinary. This history is told starting with the story of the Wurundjeri people, why Pentridge was built and then unlikely stories of compassion, mateship and laughter over the following years. Meet fellow guests and be sure to share a laugh or two along the way!

Paintings contain things that are on the verge of new meanings everytime they are seen. Art. What is in the artist eye? What is in the viewers mind? Wander the halls and immerse yourself in our curated collection of art from emerging local artists throughout the halls of The Interlude. If you find a piece that you connect with, you can ask our dedicated staff to purchase it.
