It’s the spookiest Halloween event in South Australia! Wail at the Gaol is one of Adelaide’s longest-running and best-loved Halloween events. We have an absolute scream every year - check back here in 2026!
A thrilling mix of history and mystery
Test your nerves as you explore the entire historic Gaol. You never know what’s waiting for you around the next corner: a witch’s kitchen, an enchanted forest, a ghostly hallway. As the day progresses into the evening, experience the Gaol in a different light. What will you see… or hear… or maybe just sense as a haunting shiver up your spine?
Anyone for I-scream?
Head out to our lawns for food trucks, the Mugshot Canteen, live music and games. We haven’t forgotten the littlest members of the family, with lucky dips, games, and photo opportunities as you wander through the Gaol.
Pull out your creepiest Halloween costumes and see if you can out-spook the Gaol’s resident ghosts!
We’ll see you there… if you dare.
