Rooftop party

We've partnered with some awesome local businesses to put on a great party for you. On arrival you'll enjoy a complimentary beer or cider from Hallertau Brewery, a glass of wine thanks to Deco Eatery, or a cool Karma Cola, accompanied by delicious mezze platters from Deco Eatery. We'll fire up the BBQ for a hearty feed including sausages from Clarks the Organic Meat Specialists, artisan bread from Crafty Baker and fresh salads from FreshChoice Glen Eden. There will be a cash bar if you'd like to purchase more drinks.

Tunes will be provided by Ben James Leo and DJ Charlotte Red. The rooftop terrace will be transformed into a chilled out beer garden-style setting thanks to Rocket Events.

The Rooftop party winds up at 6pm, but that doesn't mean the party has to end. Deco Eatery is right downstairs in Lopdell House and is the place to go for another drink or dinner. Show your Down and Dirty ticket for a 400ml Estrella Damm on the house!
