Throughout the tour, Katy and Cam will share their passion for the YCK Laneways’s rich tapestry of stories—blending the factual, the functional, and the fantastical. Expect ghostly encounters, local legends, tales of short-lived public lavatories, and stories of public nuisances.

YCK Laneways and the Community Improvement Distrcit Pilot program

YCK Laneways is the buzzing precinct between Town Hall and Wynyard, a consortium of independently operated retail, hospitality, corporate and entertainment businesses around York, Clarence and Kent streets. Discover world class hospitality at a range of hidden small bars and be looked after by some of the best barbers in the city. The precinct's industrial heritage lives on, with many of the venues clustered around the area embracing restored original architecture in their laneway, carriageway and storehouse locations.

YCK Laneways is a trial Community Improvement District (CID) pilot proudly funded under the NSW Government’s CID Pilot program. This new tour has been produced by Cobalt Engagement for YCK Laneways as part of the physical interventions that are funded as part of this trial CID pilot.
