Hungry for a good deal? We’ve got your back thanks to our latest initiative designed with Sydney foodies in mind.

Coming up in September, Adelaide’s incredible ethical cocktail bar Maybe Mae shifting to Sydney for three-days of waste-free, guilt-free party vibes. 42BELOW Vodka has paired with the SA bar, as well as Sydney’s Acre Eatery to present Waste-Free Weekender. 

It’s your last chance to see these artefacts outside of Egypt.

Clear your calendar, because Westfield’s Taste. Shop. Play is back for another weekend of epic pop-ups brimming with drool-worthy eats, makeup tutorials and creative exhibits.

Because we just love a solid trivia night, we’ve rounded up the best places in Sydney to grab a beer, put your thinking caps on and test out both yours and your mates’ ability to recall otherwise totally useless information. These are Sydney’s best trivia nights.

This year, there’s an epic slew of flower festivals worth marking into the calendar with markets, next level flower displays and illuminated gardens.

We’ve curated the best design events to add to your weekend hit list, but be sure to mark them in your iCal as they’re certainly not around for long.

Full of laser projectors, Asian club music and kick drums.

The Waste Collective is a podcast that’s been created to dig deeper on the issue of sustainability at music festivals: the science, psychology and ecology behind what needs to happen for festivals to go from low impact, to no impact.

And it’ll be packed with karaoke and goblet-sized margaritas.

Load up on homemade empanadas and Spanish wine. 

Plus Hilltop Hoods, Arcadia, Cub Sport and Mallrat.

And pink coffee and cherry cocktails. 

 On this weekend!

This week, historic shopping spot The Strand Arcade is hosting their annual Evening With Our Designers shindig, which basically means an unmissable line up of designers for you to meet, listen to and drink espresso martinis with. 

Featuring one-off menus from Hartsyard and Dear Sainte Eloise to start.

 With tea-flavoured fairy floss and all the bubble tea you can dream of.
