Welcome to Night at the Barracks

This phenomenal concert series is perched above Sydney Harbour against the stunning backdrop of North Head Manly. Night at The Barracks comes alive once a year for a limited time. As the sun sets, the venue transforms, offering an unforgettable experience with your favourite artists under the stars.

But it’s more than just the music. Come early, grab a drink, and savor the tasty flavors from our lineup of local food and beverage vendors. Find your spot, soak in the atmosphere, and settle in for an incredible night.

In line with our commitment to preserving the deep historical significance North Head Sanctuary holds, Night at the Barracks proudly champions sustainability, minimising our carbon footprint and promoting others to do the same. From recycling programs to sustainable transport options, eco-consciousness is the heart of every aspect of our event planning.

We also take a moment to respectfully acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the land upon which we gather. Our respect extends to their Elders, past, present, and emerging.

We are also extremely proud to support local charities, with a donation from each ticket
purchase going to Bear Cottage and Lifeline Northern Beaches.

BEAR COTTAGE

Bear Cottage is the only children’s hospice in NSW – a very special place that is dedicated to caring for children with life-limiting conditions for respite and end of life care. At Bear Cottage, we believe that life, however brief, should be enriched, enjoyed and celebrated.
As part of the Sydney Children’s Hospitals Network, Bear Cottage provides excellence in paediatric palliative and psychosocial care, delivered by an expert interdisciplinary team. As a respite facility, Bear Cottage is a home away from home, with staff and volunteers on hand to take care of the cooking and cleaning, allowing families to forget about the stresses of everyday life and to be able to spend quality time together.
Bear Cottage is a home full of special moments and cherished memories. A place where life is for living!
