What’s On In The Shire This June
Cold weather could never slow us down!
Jensens, Kareela
The weather may be cooling down, but the Shire is always hot. It’s true, a lack of warm days would never be enough to slow down our beloved coastal district - and this month, we’re looking at some seriously good happenings. From comedy nights paired with cocktails to a feast of truffles, here’s your guide to the best gigs happening in the Shire this June
Eatclub Has Officially Landed in Cronulla
If you eat out, you’re gonna want in on this — EatClub just launched in Cronulla and it’s seriously worth the download. From lazy lunches to last-minute dinners, the app gives you up to 50% off the bill at local spots you already know and love. The process? Just open the app, pick a deal, and pay with the EatClub card. No awkward convos, no coupons — just decent savings without the hassle. Perfect for midweek catch-ups, Friday night plans, or when you’re keen to try something new without spending a fortune.
The Shire’s Hottest New Opening: Parc Pavilion
The wait is over — Parc Pavilion is now open in Cronulla and ready to be your new go-to. Overlooking Monro Park, this multi-level venue blends laid-back and elevated dining under one (very stylish) roof. Downstairs is Parc Bistro for café-style eats and takeaway, plus Mr Monro’s, a sleek front bar made for easy drinks. Upstairs, you’ve got The Terrace for breezy lunches and Call Me Mamma, an Italian-inspired restaurant with private dining rooms made for lingering. From your morning coffee to late-night cocktails — Parc Pavilion has you sorted.
Cronulla’s First-Ever Café Rave Lands at Bianchini’s
Cronulla’s getting its first-ever Café Rave — and you’re invited. On Saturday 28th June from 1:30pm to 4:00pm, local DJ duo Where It’s ATT are taking over Surf Lane for a high-energy pop-up set outside Bianchini’s. Think big beats, Latin House, and your arvo coffee with a side of dancing.
The Pickle Society’s Throwing an Open Day and You’re Invited
If you haven’t had a hit at The Pickle Society yet, this is your chance. They’re hosting an Open Day on Sunday 1st June from 10:00am to 2:00pm and it’s gonna be a good time — think free court hire, free trial sessions, and demo paddles from Love Pickle so you can get a feel for the game (or just see what the heck a dink actually is). Whether you're already obsessed or just keen for a laugh with mates, come down, have a go, and join the pickleball fun.
Sundowners at Next Door? Don’t Mind If We Do
Your go-to golden hour spot is back. Every Friday and Saturday from 3:00pm, Next Door is serving up $8 beers, $10 wines, and $15 cocktails. Throw in beachside views and a crowd-pleasing dinner menu, and you’re all set for an easy weekend win.
Apple-tini Season? Still Going Strong
Love an Apple-tini? Same. The $14 lunchtime special across all three Natale Group venues has been extended for the cooler months. So if you’re keen to sip your way through winter over a long lunch… might be time to book that table.
Jensens’ Long Weekend Lineup
Clear the schedule — Jensens is bringing it all this King’s Birthday Long Weekend. From Friday 6th to Sunday 8th June, dive into truffle-season specials that’ll have you coming back for seconds (or thirds), sip on signature ‘Royal’ cocktails, and join the blue crew supporting Fight MND’s Big Freeze 11. Expect an Ice Bucket Challenge, a dunk tank featuring some familiar faces, plus tunes to keep the vibe alive.
On Sunday 8th, Sneaky Sundayz takes over the Lounge with live music from This Is Prototype, happy hour from 2:30 to 5:30pm, and even more truffle-packed dishes. Bookings are essential — don’t miss out.
Whale Watch at Cape Solander
If you’re after an iconic Shire experience this June, whale watching should be on your radar. You can jump on a whale-watching cruise for a closer look or head out to Cape Solander — one of Sydney’s top spots to see these majestic creatures as they head south on their migration to Antarctica. It takes a bit of patience, but catching a breach or fin slap is always worth it. June is prime time for spotting whales close to the coast, making it a relaxed, family-friendly outing — so pack a picnic and make a day of it.
Laugh Out Loud At Next Door’s Comedy Night
Back by popular demand, Next Door is hosting another Comedy Night on Thursday, 26th June from 5:30pm till late. Enjoy three courses and two comedians for just $100pp — guaranteed to have you giggling all night. Bookings are essential, so reserve your spot here.
