Celebrate 125 years of Australia's Constitution with an evening of film, popcorn and laughter.

Enjoy the 1997 Australian classic The Castle, a timeless comedy-drama capturing the spirit of the 'fair go'.

Follow the Kerrigan family as they fight eviction and turn to the Constitution in their quest for justice. It's a story of humour, resilience and everyday Australians standing their ground.

Before the film, join an optional guided tour of Voices/Dhuniai gallery and see Australia's original Constitution.

To mark the occasion, guests are encouraged to dress as their favourite The Castle character. The best-dressed will win a copy of The People's Guide to the Australian Constitution.

Please note: this film is rated M for strong language, and children under 15 must be accompanied by an adult.

Extend your Constitution Day celebrations by attending our annual event on Thursday, 9 July, featuring The Honourable Malcolm Turnbull AC and Paul Barclay. Register here.
