Yet another weekend of minus temperatures is upon us, but that doesn’t mean that we should go into hibernation! If you’re around town this weekend, be sure to check out our top 10 events going on in Canberra.

6pm Friday 14 July

If you’re planning on stopping by the Canberra Centre’s new Beauty Precinct tonight, then why not do it in style by attending the Sip & Scent Masterclass.

Sound and Fury: Cold Winter. Hot Party at Nishi Gallery

Sound and Fury combines music, theatre, dance, spoken word and song all in one neat package. This Saturday night experience extraordinary performance art at one of Canberra’s most unique and spectacular parties.

 

Constellations at The Street Theatre 

All weekend

Marianne and Roland are an unusual couple with one being a quantum physicist and the other a humble beekeeper – a big universe thinker meets an everyday believer.  String theory, parallel universes and Sliding Doors moments set the scene for this quirky, yet charming romance of endless invention. With various show times on offer, this performance is one not to be missed!
