Scienceworks will be bringing the hidden history of the Spotswood Pumping Station to light as part of an adults-only and after-dark walking tour.

Following a sold-out program in June, Torchlight Tales tours will run again each Friday throughout August.

Tour participants will only have a torch to light their way as they explore the murky remnants of the pumping station as expert guides recount scary, tragic and inspiring tales from the past.

Participants can arrive early to enjoy a drink or food at the bar.
