A Night at the cemetery 🦉
Think cemetery, guided tour, exploring
Boroondara General cemetery in Kew is hosting a winter solstice celebration and I thought it’d be such a cool way to see a cemetery at night (normally closes at 5pm). It is a beautiful historic cemetery with grand mausoleums so i think it’d be a fun night ☺️ Tickets are $11 pp, per the poster there’ll be a few activities such as a guided tour, food trucks and fireworks. We can even bring our own snacks, lanterns or tarot cards to add to the vibe. Another option is to grab food/dessert at Glenferrie (a short ride away) if people want to linger longer. Date: 20 June 2026 Time: 6pm-10pm (official event run time only; we can leave earlier) Meet up point: Boroondara General Cemetery, 430 High St, Kew PT: 14 min tram from Glenferrie station (Tram 16) Pls purchase youre tickets here: https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/firefly-winter-solstice-tickets-1987370877794 Rug up, bring a hand warmer/warm cuppa or whatever you like, and we can enjoy a stroll while we get to know each other :)

Meet the planners
Loyal servant to my cats, solar-powered and an extrovert (but tends to hibernate in winter - i’m really trying to change that in 2026!) I’d love to explore Melbourne (the lesser known places the better!) and build memories + lasting connections along the way ☺️
I'm interested in music (mostly 90s alternative), books, writing, gigs, cats, horror films, visiting cemeteries, op shopping/antiques, going for walks/hiking, and being in nature. I'm not a big alcohol or coffee drinker but I'm a sucker for a good tea or chai :)
