Swing on a Star

Swing On A Star – A Night of Vintage Glamour and Timeless Entertainment

Swing On A Star is a glamorous 1940s‑themed gala set within the historic Underground Hospital grounds. Guests will be transported back in time with lively swing music, vintage décor, and a traditional Sunday‑style roast dinner complete with classic desserts.

The evening’s soundtrack comes courtesy of The Pacific Bells, a celebrated 1940s swing trio known for their tight harmonies, polished choreography, and pitch‑perfect wartime‑era sound. Their performance brings the heart of the era to life, creating a musical experience that’s both authentic and irresistibly fun.

This immersive cultural experience brings together music, history, and community in a truly memorable celebration.

Guiding you through the night is your Emcee, Tania Kernaghan—country music chart‑topper and beloved TV presenter from Network TEN’s What’s Up Downunder.

Guests will also enjoy a complimentary drink voucher and take home a souvenir glass, making the memories of this unforgettable night last long after the final note fades.

Adding to the magic of the evening are mini Twilight Tours of the Underground Hospital, guided by the soft glow of hurricane lamps. These intimate tours offer a rare chance to wander the historic tunnels after dark, uncovering stories, secrets, and the remarkable wartime legacy of this unique site.
