Join me for a late night at State Library Victoria, where the grand old building throws open its doors after dark as part of Melbourne's Now or Never festival. Expect the Library reimagined as a venue after hours — a mix of live music, art and immersive experiences spread through its halls and hidden corners. We'll meet at 7pm out front by the St George and the Dragon statue on the lawn, say hello, then head inside together around 7:15pm to explore at our own pace. It's a relaxed, wander-and-see kind of night, so come and go between spaces, catch a performance, and enjoy the Library in a way you don't usually get to. Just a heads-up: this is a casual social meetup so we can head along together — it isn't run by, affiliated with, or endorsed by State Library Victoria or the Now or Never festival. Please book your own ticket directly through the event page below; an RSVP here doesn't include entry. **Who this is for** * Anyone who loves music, art, and a bit of atmosphere in a beautiful building * Curious types happy to wander and explore * Solo attendees are very welcome — this is an easy one to come along to on your own and meet people **Links** * Meetup start point: https://maps.app.goo.gl/mQm7Hogm3X8rwUZ27 * Event info and tickets: https://www.slv.vic.gov.au/whats-on/library-late-now-or-never **Timeline** * 7:00pm – Meet at the St George and the Dragon statue out front and say hello * 7:15pm – Head inside the Library together * 10:30pm – Event wraps up and the meetup ends **Tickets / cost** This is a ticketed event — please book your own ticket in advance through the event page above.
