The Metropole Halloween

This Halloween, the historic Metropole Katoomba is getting a haunting transformation.

Step inside our historic guesthouse for an immersive, family-friendly Halloween experience filled with ghostly characters, eerie hallways, gothic décor and a few surprises lurking around every corner.

Explore the hotel as roaming zombies and undead hotel staff bring the building to life (or perhaps back from the dead). Follow the trick-or-treat trail, have your fortune revealed with a tarot reading, visit our Halloween face-painting station and discover themed activities throughout the hotel.

Come dressed for the occasion, with prizes up for grabs for the best adult, child and family costumes.

Expect atmospheric lighting, cobweb-covered rooms, swirling bats, fog, strange sounds and plenty of photo opportunities as The Metropole becomes a haunted hotel for one night only.

Superposition Festival

Superposition is an invitation into entanglement: a multi-day art and culture festival of performance, music, nightlife, visual art and installation, conversation and gathering, held in and with the Blue Mountains.

The name comes from three places. From quantum physics, where a particle exists in multiple states until they are observed. From geological stratigraphy, where rock layers hold story, time and pressure pressed into form. From wave energy, where separate forces meet and combine into something neither could make alone. The festival works with artists to create expansive possibilities, rewarding those seeking layers of meaning and experience, and catalysing distinct forces and ideas to meet in the open and change each other.

The festival amplifies the artistic, ecological, scientific, spiritual and community life in this place, and offers it a contemporary frame and a wider connection. The festival is a portal, not an escape. We want to be enveloped in landscape, art, movement, weather, ritual, nourishment and complexity together. What a fun time.

When: 26th - 29th November 2026
