Brissie is heating up, and that means a calendar full of pre-Chrissie events and summer soirees. Fresh new flavours are appearing on menus, and arts and culture events are unfolding around the city.

For weekend plans, hit your local market before making a bakery run to stock your fridge with top-notch produce from local farmers and food artisans.

Scroll on and let’s see what else is on in Brisbane this week.

Festive High Tea 

Feeling festive this month? Get into the Christmas spirit early with a Festive High Tea at The W Hotel’s Living Room Bar. The highlight of this experience has to be the build-your-own gingerbread house that arrives on top of your high tea platter. Enjoy savoury morsels like turkey and cranberry brioche sliders and smoked salmon blinis with cream fraiche before moving on to the sweets. 

Sitchu Tip: Elevate your dining experience by adding a glass of Ruinart champagne, 

From $80 per person

Thursdays, Saturdays & Sunday, 7th November to 28th December 

The Living Room Bar, Level 1, The W Brisbane, 81 North Quay, Brisbane City

Garage Sale Trail

Feeling a spring clean coming on? It’s the perfect time of year to clear out your closet, curios and storage containers of items that are lacking in love. The Garage Sale Trail is happening over two weekends this month, Australia-wide and is the absolute perfect opportunity to make a little Christmas cash. 

Host your own garage sale, team up with friends, or simply get out and explore the sales to discover something one-of-a-kind this month in Brisbane.

Whispering Angel Rosé Garden at Customs House

Customs House knows how to throw a party! And by party, we mean an elegant riverside affair, with Whispering Angel rosé flowing, and table settings adorned with pretty pink roses. 

This Spring wonderland pop-up bar is here for a limited time only, bringing you a classic, elegant riverside dining experience that Customs House does best. Sip on pink cocktails and flowing bottles of rosé as you nibble on fresh seafood dishes, most notably, the iconic Moreton Bay Bug croissant. 

Book one of the domes for a chic, private dining experience — there are options for both large groups and small.  This glamorous dining affair sells out every season, so be sure to make a reservation, don your best pink frock and head into Brisbane’s CBD for the prettiest spring experience. 

Customs House, 399 Queen Street, Brisbane
