Shire’s Farmers Markets
Grab a takeaway coffee and explore the Shire’s Farmers Markets, held every Saturday from 8:00am to 1:00pm. You will find fresh fruit and veg, meat, bread, flowers, cheese, eggs, gnocchi, donuts, pastries and more. Whether you want to do your weekly shop or pick up some goodies to entertain guests over the weekend, these markets have you covered.
The market stalls vary week to week, so visit the Shire Farmers Markets Facebook Page the day prior for the list of stallholders. The stalls are spaced apart to allow for safe queueing and social distancing.
Flora Street Carpark, Sutherland
Event Cinema
Ever wanted to have a whole cinema for just you and your friends? Well, now you can and it's not even expensive. For a limited time only, Event Cinemas are letting you and up to 19 friends book out an entire cinema yourselves. Not only do you get to choose the flick from new releases to cult classics, but devour unlimited medium popcorn and drinks - brought to you by your very own event host. The private screening experience is $500 for up to 20 people, making it practically the same price as a normal ticket - $25pp. You can make the screening as intimate as you like, it'll just depend on your budget.
So choose a date and time and forget the loud talkers, noisy eaters, slurpers, packet crinklers and armrest stealers. Available until the 14th of August. Book here.
