The Famous Spiegeltent

Spiegeltents are hand-hewn pavilions used as travelling dance halls, bars and entertainment salons since they were created in the early 20th century. There are only a handful of these unique and legendary ‘tents of mirrors' left in the world today. Built of wood, mirrors, canvas, leaded glass and detailed in velvet and brocade, each has its own personality and style.

The most beautiful of the last remaining Belgian Spiegeltents, The Famous Spiegeltent, was built in 1920 by master craftsmen Oscar Mols Dom and Loius Goor. This Grande Dame has spent her lifetime at the bequest of festivals and fairgrounds throughout Europe and beyond, playing host to the world's greatest cabaret artists, musicians and circus burlesque performers.

The Famous Spiegeltent is a part of the Honda Festival Garden, a temporary Sydney Festival venue in Hyde Park North. The Garden plays host to a cornucopia of musical and theatrical delights and has several bars and food outlets.

The Famous Spiegeltent is an over 18s venue from 5pm. All tickets sold to The Famous Spiegeltent are General Admission.
