Jigs Jollies and Jamborees – Gold Standard Heritage Walks

Jigs, Jollies and Jamborees is a lively leap through Ballarat’s glittering after-dark past. This self-guided heritage walk waltzes through six sensational stops where the city once sang, danced, dazzled—and occasionally burned down. Catch a flick at the Regent, take the stage at Her Majesty’s, and twirl beneath the chandeliers of the BMI. Swing by Suttons for a soulful tune, feel the echo of crowds in mighty Alfred Hall, then end with the fiery finale of the Coliseum. From ballroom to backroom, curtain call to last call—this is Ballarat’s nightlife, reborn. Lace up, lean in, and let the jollies begin!

Brought to you by the Ballarat Heritage Team as an official and authentic way to explore the city’s rich and remarkable past.
